Each day's a new day a new day in the Lord.
This is one of those days!
Following several restless nights the days were just as difficult.
This morning found us at breakfast going through the routine of eating and hydrating while taking what meds the doctors think needed and the support homeopathic's that we hope will help.
We have wept together before but today at breakfast we both "entered in" to "weep with those who are weeping". Elise started to weep and I only had enough time to ask why when I started myself. The thought of her not coming home from the Mayo Clinic was troubling her mind. I assured her that she would, that was the best I could do to "gird her up" in this low spot of her suffering.
Truth be told (as I told her) my feeling of ineffectiveness was based on "not knowing how to comfort her"!
Each of us is a complete package, body, mind, and spirit. We have not a way of crossing over into another person to give strength, hope, faith, or comfort that we might possess to help them. Only the Holy Spirit can give real comfort. Needed comfort, hope, and peace in their situation. He is the "Comforter". We; are outside of their being or else I would gladly make that journey into my wife to share her thoughts and concerns of all that is going on with her. Again it's tough not to be able to offer any repose in the situation.
Just taking time now to pray that God would send His Holy Spirit into both of us to comfort and encourage us. A needed commodity for the present time.
Well time and need bids me else ware for now.
God bless and keep.
Thanks for your prayers.
Love
J&E
