I Am Not Alone

October 3

I'm having a really hard time with my broken finger. There's so much that needs to be done and it's really hard to do it with one hand. I really struggled today. I was really sad and tired. I know some of it was because I didn't get a very good night's sleep last night. I was up a lot. Taking ibuprofen with my vitamins tore up my stomach. Then my fingers hurt bad enough to keep waking me up. It was hard to get comfortable and into a good sleep. I got out of bed tired and not in a great frame of mind. I pushed through the day trying to clean some things up and at least help make some progress with the renovations. My level of frustration and disappointment was high. I prayed a lot today. I kept giving my emotions to God and trying to trust. As the day went on, I pulled myself together and wasn't feeling so bad. Then my son-in-law called and offered to come over, cook my husband and I dinner, and try and help clean up. I told him we couldn't clean up because I needed to wait for filters for the wet dry vac that I had just ordered. They all came over anyway, we roasted marshmallows and had steak for dinner. I felt so loved and cared for. My daughter and my son-in-law couldn't do a lot to help with the renovations. But they came over anyway simply to bless us and let us know that they love us. Who could ask for any more than that. Jesus reminded me in that blessing, that I am loved and cared for. I am not alone.
