Laugh and Cry
September 9
It is not even 8AM, I have not left my bed, and I have already laughed and cried this morning. Email can bring about those emotional fluctuations! Today is the 22nd birthday of our youngest child and some fun emails/texts will be exchanged between the siblings.
The Biblegateway verse today is appropriate since this youngster's college days are over and he is now an engaged man in grad school.
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled,
and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.- Titus 2:2
While rejoicing in this, I received an email from a friend whose son has just been diagnosed with lymphoma. How quickly our emotions can shift.
For this family I am claiming Psalm 9:10
Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Whatever today holds, we need not fear, for God holds this day in the palm of his hand.
Isaiah 26:4
Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
Lord, teach us to rejoice with those who rejoice and also to be able to mourn with those who mourn. Thank you for our brothers and sisters who walk through this world with us. In Jesus Name,Amen
