Numbers 9:23 At the LORD`S command they encamped, and at the LORD`S command they set out......
No doubt, my friend Phyllis, prayed long and hard before deciding to pack up and move from Maryland to North Carolina, to be closer to the "good son" and his family. As Phyllis` husband Bobby`s health declines, she found it very difficult to work and provide necessary care for Bobby. Aside from many serious health issues, Bobby is also developing signs of dementia, something that I am all to familiar with. I remember, struggling with the problems that came with mom`s dementia years ago; I thank God for the time that I had to share and witness to Phyllis concerning this devastating journey, called Alzheimer's.
Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
This move will provide Phyllis with a family network of love and assistance, even her sister Bink and her two children are moving from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. A son, daughter-in-law, three grandchildren, a sister, a niece and nephew living only minutes apart; all sharing the bonds and love of Jesus Christ. Sounds like a successful combo to me!
Acts 10:2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.
I pray that the union of this family will provide love and support that they all need. I pray that Phyllis will find and maintain peace, support and joy, that will allow her to live the full and abundant life that God has planned for her. I pray that Bobby will adjust to his new surroundings and that he will thrive on the love offered by family members. Once again, I thank God for the gift of free time, that allowed me to drive a packed van 400 miles, to the new home and fresh start for my dear friend, Phyllis!
1 John 4:21 And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Or in this case my sister in Christ, Phyllis Davis. Amen.............
