Thursday afternoon Deborah went to help a friend.

The guys were working on the house.

All day my emotions were in gentle turmoil.

For no particular reason,

every few minutes I could feel the tears threaten.

Bre caught me at a moment they were about to fall…

“Are you okay?”….

and a gentle cry started.

We talked for a while about nothing and everything.

I sent myself upstairs for a “time out”.

Bre finished dinner and entertained Abigail and Selah.

I have wonderful support here,

and I know God is with me wherever I am,

but I was missing the people who are part of my “every day”,

those I see and those I text or FB to stay in touch.

I took a chance that the Internet was on it’s A game.

I opened up Facebook…it loaded quickly!

I saw that two friends were on-line.

I sent a request for prayer.

I quickly received messages they would pray.

Then, as icing on the cake,

a third friend sent an unsolicited loving message.

God showed me that even “at the ends of the earth”

He is faithful, He will provide.

How do I know, without a doubt,

His hand was involved this afternoon?

For one thing, as I sit here six hours later,

completely at peace,

wanting to post this update

the Internet is not working.

I don’t NEED it right now, I only want it.

God is incredibly kind.

God is indescribably good.
