Be Glad
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
Psalm 32:11
Be glad that you've walked
with courage for each day,
Be glad you've had strength
for each step of the way,
Be glad for the comfort
you've found in prayer,
But be gladdest of all for God's tender care.
I am wondering if we appreciate 'his tender care' I wonder if we appreciate that he is always there, that he loves us unconditionally and it doesn't depend on how we behave. He loves us. Sometime I read about things that people have had to experience and wonder what they feel, but deep inside he is there, too.
Yesterday when we got to school we were told that Gene Braathen had died the night before, he had been a bus driver for maybe 30 years, something like that. Gene was kind and caring and everyone loved him. DJ called all the students grades 7-12 into the gym to tell them, it was a quiet morning, the students really cared for him and they needed quiet time to process it. Then I talked to someone who said we will never be ready....I wondered does that mean she doesn't know Jesus, or she just doesn't want to die? What are our feelings today? Are we ready, how do we feel about dying?
I came home after school and after a nap we had supper and the evening together. Dad is much better.
