Day 105 Lessons learned


Pastor Joey (at Mom and Dad's church) had a great sermon last week based on John 14's Vine and the Branches passage. How many times does someone ask WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? Maybe it's God's way of pruning to make them even stronger, better. It gave me great hope.

Pastor Noel at my church had a great sermon on Joshua yesterday. A great remeinder that Faith conquers fear.


Life is full of lessons. This 3 month journey which will surely be 12 at least is the biggest lesson, learning curve, adjustment, change, revelation and experience of my entire life of 53 years. Here are a few of the lessons:
· Aging is preferred over death but is difficult
· Illness strikes everyone and it's never expected or prepared for
· Faith, determination and patience are tested and acquired in crisis
· We don't know what we are capable of until tested
· Family and friends get us through
· GOD IS KEY!
· Hope not only springs eternal but continually
· Life is about seasons and thick and lean years
· DOCTORS DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING!


I'm sure more lessons will surface as this journey continues. HOW WOULD I HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT GOD?
