Today is the 4th

Today is July fourth -
 Independence Day
The signing of the
 Declaration of Independence
The birth of a new Nation to
 some and BBQ day for others
It did not come easy or cheap..
.It took  a long Battle
It is a day to Remember

The fourth is a day to remember
in our family
Hugh was born on the 4th of January
 and lost a long battle
57 years and 4months later on
 the 4th (the same age I am now)

My Mother-in-law lost her very long
battle on the 4th of November,
showing us great grace and courage
 in her struggles with  cancer.

For two weeks, I have been fighting
 a battle of my own. Now, I am not as sick
 as a lot of folks, I am just not as healthy
 As I like to be and can not get my energy
 back.When you are busy, the idea of lying
around reading all day is very appealing.
 But because  of fever, drugs or infection,
 I just lay down and fall asleep. The reality
 is not as much fun. I know I went to bed with
 a fever, cause I had chills with 2 blankets.

This morning, because it is the 4th,
 I decided to read proverbs 4 and Psalms 4
 I found a little nugget right in the middle of
 Proverbs 4... verse 18
"The path of the righteous is like the dawn of
 light that shines brighter and brighter
until the full light of day (KJ) the Perfect day."

I love sunrise out in nature with natural light.
 You open your eyes and can barely
see until your eyes adjust and as you search
 around you things become brighter and
brighter until;  you can not believe what
  you did not see  before.

That is the way of  God's wisdom
Falling in love
Daily devotions
Open your eyes- seek

Psalms 4 made me feel better about my days in bed
"The Lord has set apart the godly for Himself
He hears when we call Him.  Meditate in your
heart upon your bed and be still.  I will lie down
in peace and sleep, for you alone,  Lord, will keep
me safe."

I don't now what is going  on yet.
But God does and He is in control.
