Arbor thoughts: Peace in chaos
I'm enjoying the time left where I can sit out at the arbor. These two always join me!
Multiple challenges seem to have appeared in our life the last month. After losing my father in law, my mother suddenly went from an active, healthy person to a cancer patient. She came home with us after a week in the hospital. In the midst of all that, the contractor we talked to weeks ago about doing some repair/ remodeling work in our house said he was ready to start. So our house is in chaos. We empty rooms, moving stuff from one place to the other. My mom went home because my bedrooms are taken apart! My wreath room is also holding overflow stuff. I need to cull some of my "stuff." Problem is, I like my stuff!
Yesterday my mother in law was admitted to the hospital and is very sick. We're taking this one day at a time.
Soon things will settle down. I keep John 16:33 in my heart and try to be of good cheer. And knowing I am not alone in the chaos.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
