A pleasant thought to ponder... we each have our own personal History Book With God. He writes
through the events of our lives and we add content by our responses.
I’m
recalling a chapter today of being in Door County last October after my husband Wayne’s
open heart surgery when he was very fragile. Here we are today
one year later with golf clubs and bicycles having lunch in Sister Bay with Dan and Stephanie who joined us. (David and his family come up next weekend.) How can I possibly describe the
grateful praise spilling from every pore of my being when I see my man healthy
and active?
I
turn back in my History Book With God to other scary chapters - the safe birth of our
fourth child despite medical complications, later the healing of our
eighteen-year-old son whose life was given up on by his oncologist.
Opportunities
to watch God at work using me as an available counseling instrument in the emotional
healing of other lives. Humbling chapters. The blessing of being an
encouragement to others. We all like those chapters, don’t we? I know you have many of your own.
Sad chapters without happy endings have been written as well, but they don’t mar the Goodness evident within my History Book With God. His presence during times of pain has been just as real, His comfort as near as my skin, when our twenty-four-year-old grandson Drew died.
Within
the pages of my book are my daily conversations with the
Supreme Creator Who is absolutely like none other – the King of Glory. Sometimes my words are simply expressions of
awe at His world, His people as in Jesus Time, 365 Love Notes of Wonder and Worship. Other times, I speak petitions for the needs of
others because I’ve
known, I’ve witnessed the transforming power of prayer. My History Book With
God is filled with His interventions in apparently hopeless situations in
response to fervent prayer.
Part
of my current History With God is my new mystery novel
The Windemere Affair https://amzn.to/2pZxl1y–launched a week ago and is off to an exciting start. This is my second novel set in Lake Geneva, the city
I fondly call home – the full name of our village is Fontana-on-Lake
Geneva. It’s fun to hear my adult son Dan
say he’s up to Chapter Seven – when
writing an author never thinks about having your adult children read the love
scenes. Gulp. Awkward… I’m grateful for the reviews thus far – thanks for taking some of your valuable time to read and review.
What’s
being written right now, friends, in your living History Book With God? From birth to final breath our history with Him goes on…
