Lots of scurrying around here. Our #2 son –Kim-- had a short bout with chest pains for a short time last evening and is undergoing hospital tests as I write.
Which means having some tests done ‘away from home’ – which entails clearances etc. and as I’m writing this he’s in one of the major hospitals in
It’s been a long road and on requiring prayer and patience. But we know the Lord is always in control of these kinds of things and so we rejoice in the loving care of our Heavenly Father.
Our fleshly tendency in these situations is to cry “Why Me?” – but the more trusting and accurate statement is “Why not me?” Thankfully our immediate family has suffered only survivable encounters with accidents and illness heretofore – and we thank the Lord for that. But at the same time the voices of scripture come echoing across the centuries: “Why not me?” Our resolution from what we see in Scripture is that “All things work together for good for those who love God; who are the called according to HIS purpose.
Admittedly sometime that road looks dark and treacherous – but God has said I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. So we know our Heavenly Father cares – and loves us – sending things our way in order to glorify HIM. Dear Lord, may that **always** be true for those we love!
Lord willing, we will be here again in the next few days and will report His Love and Mercy toward us then!
Cordially IN HIM,
Barbara and Jack Buttram
