The View from My Chair

Posted by Karen of Scottsdale on April 28th, 2005 in Uncategorized

My wonderful husband who cares for me each and every day woke up this morning with a swollen and painful foot. He hobbled around and was able to get me up and going but I know that he needs to recuperate so I have had to hunt around for someone to fill in until he is better. God has been gracious in providing for my needs and I found an agency today that will send someone over this evening and then tomorrow to help me with my daily care. It was stressful wondering where I was going to find someone to fill in for my irreplaceable husband.

On top of all of that stress my dentist called and said that I’m going to need to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted. Ouch! Please pray for me because I will be under a lot of stress the next couple of days dealing with strangers who are there to help me but really don’t know what to do. It is good that I’m able to communicate and tell them how I need to be cared for and what they need to do for me. Nonetheless, I don’t relax a whole lot because I’m constantly thinking of what is the next thing I need them to do.

In spite of how I feel I know that God is with me and working on my behalf. I thank him for his goodness and his mercy.

You might be able to find someone to fill in, but never replace me. If I never do anything else in my life, never become famous again, never invent anything, I will know that God sent me here just to be with you, love you, and every once in awhile help you move about. What a joy!
