Day One

Sometimes gifts come at unexpected times and wrapped in unusual ways. We are used to the usual occassions for receiving gifts, such as, on our birthday or at Christmas. However, sometimes , on rare occasion we are caught off guard by a special delivery. At first we may not welcome it for the packaging is not very appealing. Sometimes it takes time to recognize/realize its true value. This gift is precious, priceless, especially and uniquely designed for the recipient. The gift is to be highly cherished and unselfishly shared. It is a gift entrusted to us for the benefit of others and the glory of God.
The text went out early on Monday morning, September 21, the last day of Summer, to family and friends. “I need your prayer support. I’ve had a lingering physical problem for a few months now, about mid-June, that the current treatment is not resolving. Will be going to a specialist today at 11am for a procedure to help aid in the healing process. Been through a lot in my life, and I know God is with me and in control but honestly, I’m still a bit nervous. Please pray for me. Thanks.”
