He Makes All Things Good

We returned last night from saying goodbye to my mother. While we have been here in the states, He has made all things good! My sister and I were able to get my mom moved into a "retirement village"! Moving could have been a very distressing time, but He made it so GOOD for my sister and I. We had so much fun "decorating" my mom's apartment and made a lot of memories. And getting my mom settled was a priority. She is now surrounded by lots of friends and is having the time of her life. Truly He made it all good.

While we have been here at the church, Rick has been able to work with the senior adults. Today they gave us a going away luncheon and it was spectacular! It is so hard to believe that our time here among this sweet church is about over. We want to continue sharing with all of them because through them - we are the arms of love around the world. So even in our leaving - we are an extension of them "in His name". He has made it all good.

We are almost at a stalemate at the packing stage. Rick has made the goal of having everything packed up before we go to bed on Saturday night! That is a pretty high expectation but I will do all I can to meet the goal (I am so goal oriented!) Things are nearly finished upstairs except for some cleaning. This area (upstairs) is where our youngest daughter "lived" these two years. The walls ring with her presence up there. It makes me miss her so much. We will say goodbye to her tomorrow. I know you will be praying for us then. He will make it all good.

Many of you have asked how to respond to this blog. If you scroll on down, you will see "post a comment". Just click on that and you will be able to post an answer. And you will be able to read the comments of others (should you choose to do that). I'm telling you that so that you will know that this is a "public domain". So don't write anything you don't want others reading. One way or the other HE WILL MAKE IT ALL GOOD!
