Thankful Everyday
I came back from my long vacation and it was far from what I had expected. First and foremost the beginning of it was delayed by some fraud some people at my workplace committed, something that I've been unable to understand up to now. This was like a bad omen coz while I needed to go home and rest, I also had to go for other reasons mainly attending to my mum who was unwell.
I actually got round to taking my leave and when I arrived I actually found out that mum had gone from unwell to very ill. The story is a long one - hospital, loads of medication and the after effects of all the medication. It was a very trying period for me a someone so dear to me, in fact my dearest person was suffering immensely. And for mum, it was like hell on earth - she has gone through so much already!!! I felt totally exasperated, and felt helpless, but was I really helpless? No. There was so much I could do, starting with taking good care of her, ensuring that I tended to her needs as best as I could, including emotional support. Above all it was my duty to pray for her. I prayed and prayed some more and friends also prayed with me even if they were far away. I really thank them for standing with me in prayer during this trying period both for mum and I.
Now the good news is that the prayer worked and I'm praising God for the miracle He has given to me by giving mum another chance of living. Each day I wake up and my heart is so thankful for the goodness of The Lord. He is good all the time and this is forever true. So even though mum is not yet completely healed, I thank God for the process of healing He has begun in her and for her tremendous improvement in health. I trust and have faith in Him for a complete healing for mum, and I rejoice for the many more miracles to come. This is why I'm thankful everyday.
