Several months back, God blessed me with a sermon titled “But God“. Some of you may remember it, some may not. But those two words came to life for me a little over four weeks ago, and they have changed me from the inside out.
When bad things take us by complete surprise, But God…When parts of our bodies don’t work as we expect them to and confusion and panic begin to set in, But God…When our words come out of our mouths sounding like mush, But God…When we’re not sure where those closest to us are, But God…When emergency personnel surround us and we don’t understand what’s going on, But God…When the first helicopter ride we ever take is on a stretcher with two pilots and a flight nurse, But God…When we are surrounded by people with caring eyes and urgency in their every movement, But God…When the last thing you remember before your eyes shut is the kindness of a nurse gently squeezing your shoulder, But God…When the first thing you see when you open your eyes is those closest to you, But God…When every person that comes into your room is there to meet your every need, But God…When every doctor smiles and basically scratches their head when they look at you and listen to you talk, and cry, and walk, and cry, and laugh, and cry, and hug, and cry again, But God…
Thanksgiving Blessings from Linda and me!
