This title has been nagging at me
for the past few days.
Patience and Tenacity-
We all need them!
Impatience causes
Untold distresses for us.
Slow down. Breathe deeply.
Choose tenacity –
Hold tight to the task at hand –
Perseverance reaps rewards.
Healing progresses
On its own slow timetable –
Just like most progress.
My hand’s not ready
To grasp yours firmly today.
It’s stiff and it’s sore.
But with some patience
And lots of tenacity,
That day is coming.
Meantime, I can reach
With my strong dominant hand
And accept your help.
Tonight Bob & I had a wonderful dinner provided by our friends/neighbors. We had a lovely day made brighter by some sunshine and an ice cream treat to celebrate the good news: the pins are out – and my broken finger is healing in its socket perfectly! God is good!! Thank you for your prayers. I feel them!!
We went outside and took off our Montana winter jackets,
and enjoyed our ice cream in the soooo welcomed sunshine!
Yay!! We think summer
is thinking seriously
about staying around for awhile.
Patience, Jan!
Tenacity is the word of the day
for our prayers for warmer weather, too!
HOPE is the measure
of faith in His promises.
Hang in there, my friends!
Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold fast the confession
of our hope
without wavering
for He who promised
is faithful.”
Have a wonderful rest of your week.
Each day it will be easier for me to post.
Meantime – easy does it!
Stay in touch, please.
Love to you,
JanBeek
