(thinking of the song from years back!)
We have two ailing grandpas in our family. I have written, a bit, about my husband's dad, but now my dad is in the hospital facing brain surgery for a blood clot in the frontal lobe.
waaaaaaaa.
They say "when it rains it pours." Whoever they are got the wrong rain phrase for what's happening at my place!!!!
Life, overall, seems pretty overwhelming. My image of life in general, right now, is having two boxes of 5000 piece puzzles thrown up into the air. The trick is, I'm also in a snowglobe that keeps shaking! Well, this week, the new portion of the "snowglobe" is an addition of a butterfly net. It's small, but it has really been instrumental in helping me feel a sense of "piece" (I meant peace, but that's how I spelled it! Really!) and "control" in the middle of the snowstorm. That's a good place to be.

Awesome analogy! At peace when you're in pieces! In the first grade Sunday School class this morning, we talked about David and Goliath. David didn't use the armor Saul supplied (think of Timothy wearing adult-sized armor), nor did he use a sword and shield. He simply trusted God "This battle is the Lord's!" and found five smooth stones. He whomped Goliath, the guy the army was afraid to confront, with a stone. With God on our side, we can wallop our troubles with what seems to be a small source of faith!
What a wonderful description of life!!!
