Details
I love that God , though he is awesome and sovereign, it into details for his children. Today I was at the Chiropractor for the aftercare from the accident. This is a new DR. to me and I was a little nervous. It also had been a very busy day and I was tired to say the least. After an initial exam and Xrays I was hooked up to equipment for deep stimulation of the muscles and sat quietly waiting for that to end. Music was playing on the radio . What should come on but Angel by Sarah McLachlan. My daughter had given me a singe of it several years ago. I love the haunting melody and the words too.' In the arms of an angel'. I relaxed and felt God holding me and quieting my heart and my body. I was revived when the treatment ended.
Now that is just like my Father- so involved in my life as to know what would touch my heart and when I needed it most . Thanks Father.

i don't know if this is a double post or not. i hope not, but twice is better than none.
mother mary, although i no longer have an allegance to a church on this earth, i am always encouraged by your faith, your trust even in your weakness.
some time ago i was designing a new building for the church that i attended, and the pastor and elders arranged a meeting with me to review the way that they wanted the locks on the doors -- the many different keys that would open the different doors.
locks these days are very sophisticated, and you can have one key that opens all the doors while other keys only open some of the doors and other keys that only open one door. the key that unlocks all the doors is called the master key.
after the meeting i was very discouraged about the project, because i was confused, because it seemed to me that a church building should have no locks on any of the doors. it seemed to me that the church has only one Treasure, and that is a treasure that the Church's mission here is to give away, freely to any that desire it, to all who will receive it. i could not imagine Christ with a key ring, i could not reconcile the many obstacles and layers of protection that these men wanted to introduce into His building.
it was a sad day for me.
but i know that He does carry the Master Key, and that is the Truth, which opens all doors.
our journey here on earth is short, and we have been given many ways to understand his message, even in our so-limited and hazy understanding.
your words are an encouragement to me, and your patience and devotion have been a blessing to me.
i believe that love is the material that binds us all together, and you are one of the weavers of the tapestry.
thank you for your steadfastness through many lonely times, through difficult days and nights, and through all the pain that you have experienced. your joy is greater than all of them, even the ones you alone know of, those things that you have kept bound up in your heart.
