Thinking

As we crawled into bed last night, my mind began to wonder.  I tried to make yesterday a good birthday for Ron, but you know when you begin with 3 injections and then continue with more pain throughout the day - fun is kinda out the window!

But last night I was thinking back to just a year ago when so many friends and family sent cards to celebrate Ron's 40th. Over 115 as I recall (feel free to click on the link and remember with me)!

Then in my mind I came back to yesterday.  There is no way we even thought about a transplant on that birthday 365 days ago.  It wasn't even on our radar at that time. 

Yet our Faithful God knew!  He knew that this birthday for Ron wouldn't be one of the easiest,.  He knew 41 years ago when a little baby was born in Canton, Ohio that one day he would give for his brother (who was yet to be born).   Our Faithful God knew how giving Ron would be and how he would give a million birthdays for his brother!

Really none of us have a guarantee for tomorrow, let alone a year from now!  Yet, those of us who live with Jesus have an eternal guarantee, our guarantee is Jesus.  By putting our faith in Him, we will have a tomorrow.  Perhaps not on this earth as we "plan it", but we have an eternity with Jesus!

There aren't too many days that go by that I don't think about how incredibly blessed I am to wake and walk each day with Jesus.  My mind can't grasp those who do not have that relationship.  What lostness they must feel! 

So today, as we continue with Jesus, we lean heavily upon Him.  Trusting that He holds not only tomorrow, but our future and our lives in His hands!
