Pressing on in stillness

A week ago today I came back after a three and half day delay
I  am beginning to learn not to spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away
Or simply being impatient to get up and move
I think it is His special way of taking my weakened body and getting me in His special presence groove

As the anxiety edges itself into my thoughts
I am reminded He is my Shepherd and calls the shots
It is frightening at times to leave myself to His Will
The lesson I am learning is to serve while I am still

Reactions, kidney failure and cancer can't delay
The feeling of resting in His presence each step of the way
Each breath  of every day is a gift
And my prayer is that I do not  let one ungratefully drift

Trusting, relaxing and trying to enjoy this path he wants me to go
Grappling for the things of the future is not mine, but His, this I know
So many recently have gone out of their way
To show me love and encourage me not to dismay

Deep appreciation and thankfulness fills my heart
To Jodi,Valerie, Carrie, Marny, Mom and the praying saints, Thank you with love for doing your part!
So tonight I will pray
That an extra special blessing comes your way!
