To those who read this blog with anything approaching regularity, you've noticed that several days have gone by without any blog posts. That's because I am at my mother's bedside at our local hospital. Late Friday afternoon my mother took a tragic fall and broke her neck. She is paralyzed from the neck down. Because of her advanced age and the nature of her condition, she is receiving "comfort care" presently and will probably pass away in a matter of hours, or within a few days.
The presence of God has been exquisite in so many ways. One of the great blessings during this time has been the thoughtfulness of a friend who brought to the hospital a CD player and the 3 CD collection, "50 Classic Hymns." We have the CD playing day and night and consequently we are bathed in majestic, inspiring, glorious music that brings with it a heightened sense of the marvelous peace and presence of God.
To personal friends who may be reading this post, thank you for your love, and prayers and concern! We are all in God's hands, and one day must journey onward. May the Lord keep us all so close to Him that the transition into His Glorious Presence will be but a small one. Blessings upon you!
