Thanks to all who prayed for me and for my friend Peggy as we mourn the passing of our good friend Dianne.
Yesterday I enjoyed safe travel to/from Boston to Springfield for her memorial service. She was cremated and later will be buried with her pre-deceased parents. It really was a lovely service, a beautiful tribute to this young woman. God blessed our time together. This was one of the coldest days of the year. I prayed and tried to trust in God that the pipes in the house would not freeze but remained needlessly anxious. Of course God had watched over the house. When I left early in the morning it was ice cold but thanks be to God I returned to a warm house with water in the boiler. I was reminded of the song "What a friend we have in Jesus" - in particular the line, "Oh what NEEDLESS pain (worry/fear/anxiety) we bear" when we don't just carry everything to God in prayer. I carried my concerns to God in prayer but nervously still worried. Of course God is concerned about every area of our lives. Maybe we shouldn't just sing "carry everything to God in prayer" but "abandon, let go" everything to God in prayer.
I am so thankful God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.
Thanks to all who prayed for me. Praise Jesus!
