My cat is invading my comfort zone just now. She is demanding food and a proper petting. I should mention that she went to see Marsha at the Barker Shop the other day, and this white Persian is now sporting a black mohawk with an orange poof on her tail. She's ready for Halloween! Love her. Maybe one of these days we'll have children, but for now she fills in quite nicely. I know I should be in bed, but I just can't quit thinking about stuff.
It's just stuff in general; like how I'm so glad my dad is still with us. He just had a stint put in his leg yesterday. Problem is, he's already had a by-pass in that same leg years ago. Then there's the matter of him coding in the doctor's office back in '04. They had to revive him with the paddles. He had a quadruple by-pass and a valve repaired. He's had other issues crop up now and again. However, I just can't stop thinking about how fleeting life is. I work at a funeral home and run GriefShare. I see death all the time. Although you never get used to it, it gets easier to deal with. However, when it's your loved one that's ill, it is completely different. I did get to talk to my dad today, who is back home and in great spirits. He sounded so chipper on the phone. He couldn't help praising God himself. Our prayer had been that a stint would be all he would need, and for now... it is!
I'm so thankful that God has continued to answer our prayers, and I no longer take my family for granted. I try to enjoy them while they are here. I can't help but see the hand of God continually guiding us, even in the smallest of details. He is the only reason I make it through the day, even a good one. I have no doubt that I will see many hard days in my lifetime, but I will be held up by a faithful, and loving Sustainer.
