2018 was a year of both ups and downs!
I for one am glad that we are in 2019!!
Last year we celebrated the wedding of my daughter Kathryn. It was a wonderful time for family and friends to gather. It was the high point of the Summer!
Yet, two weeks later our world would change forever.
My 26 year old son suffered a stroke and barely survived.
He had 3 brain operations and is now in rehab. Everyone in the family has been affected by this.
It has turned our world upside down.
Yet, through it all I have trusted and hung on to the promises of our God.
He has been my "refuge and strength" through all of this. I can hardly imagine going through a catastrophe like this without faith in Jesus Christ our Lord!
My church family has been the hands and feet of Christ to me and my family.
I am eternally grateful for all they have done.
So I am trusting that 2019 is going to be a better year! Ryan is still in rehab. but he is progressing. It is going to be a long journey, but the family is there to support him in any way they can.
I am not sure what the future holds for me and my family, but I do know Who holds the future and His name is Jesus Christ!
Amen
