Glorious Fall

Praise the Lord, My husband

arrived home from Belarus!

All is right with my world,

I thought as he bent down

to embrace me.

I could not stop the tears from overflowing,

I was so relieved to see him.

Apart from the prickly beard

(he forgot his shaver) he looked wonderful

 and none worse for the wear.

We talked into the night about his

wonderful time with the Belarusian

people and the work they

were able to accomplish.

It wasn’t well into the night,

 mind you, he was exhausted!

My weekend was awesome,

 to say the least.

My Joe was home, Tracy came up

and I just kept feeling better and better.

This morning I walked down the driveway

with Tracy and Chester with the wind howling

in the trees and the leaves falling

around us like rain....

It was exhilarating!

I wasn’t even out of breath,

which is quite a difference

 from just a few days ago.

Feeling on top of the world

we piled into the car,

after a breakfast of eggs and bagels,

and headed for Brasstown Bald,

to see the beautiful Fall leaves.

Gorgeous!

I even got into the courtesy van

which drove us to the very top.

We walked around the museum,

braving the wind, and

then back down to the parking lot.

I’m glad I changed from my bathrobe to a jacket :)

I have been so weak and Jesus

came in with His strength and I

feel almost whole again.

Releasing all my worries to Him

enabled me to lay quietly

in His presence,

allowing His light to soak

into me and He drove

out the darkness that

lodged within me.

Isn’t that beautiful?

Sarah Young encouraged me

in that way through my devotion,

“Jesus Calling”.

It’s been a lifeline for me.

“Hail Jesus, You’re my King

Your life brings me to sing

I will praise you all my days

Perfect in all Your ways”

Hallelujah!
