a friend

Jump to Comments

I want to share something …Yesterday I visited a sweet friend in San Antonio who has ALS. In the 18 months or so that I have known her I have seen her go from being able to walk but not have the use of her arms…not being able to feed herself or take care of other personal things on her on to now the only thing she can do is sit in her special chair that holds her head up and and nod her head a little. She can’t talk anymore. She has a special computer that allows her to move her eyes along a screen and pick out letters or words. ThenĀ the computerĀ  will speak those sentences for her. This woman, with all that has happened to her in the last few months, was encouraging ME. She asked her husband to print out a list of healing verses to give to me. I was amazed. I was also very overwhelmed by the peace from God that showed on her face. Sometimes we doubt God or question Him about what’s going on in our lives or the lives of others we see suffering. We may not understand His plan but I believe He is walking with us through it all. And when we suffer and hurt I know God is as close as ever. He loves me and you. I hope that you all…everyone who reads this page has the same kind of relationship with God that I do. He is my Heavenly Father and He is taking care of me.
