Sunday – Day of Rest
Since Sundays technically don’t count towards the 40 days of Lent – and well, I typically do try to at least not work during the day – there was no Lent blog post yesterday.
We have friends that we have been trying to get to move to our little town. It might just happen! At least, sometime in the future – as they spent the afternoon house hunting in our area. We went to lunch and the kids played. Good conversation over chips and salsa is always good for the soul.
Let’s Talk Healing
So healing scriptures, yeah. Healing is a hard thing to process but necessary. I know so many people – including myself that want God to just heal themselves or someone in their lives.
“Why did God do this?” or “Why isn’t God healing her?” This subject is a difficult one and I wish I had the right answer to give you. I’ve included links below to other blog posts discussing the topic below the healing scriptures.
A Year to Heal
Last year, my husband was going thru a crazy experience, having his colon removed. There were so many unknowns, challenges, changes and hospital stays. OMG – the awful hospital stays were the worse. During that time – prayer was how I survived. And knowing now how many people were praying for him – I am convinced that’s how he survived.
My husband is still healing. It’s been a year since his first surgery and 8 months since his last surgery. The doctors all says that it takes a year for him to heal to a level of normalcy. So we continue to pray, we need him as normal as possible. (Even though he really was never normal. :))
