My Dad has 13 lumps growing.
My Cat is sick.
There is no comparison.
I don't think the vet understood when I said our cat wasn't high on the priority list.
Nothing surprises our God.
Again there is no comparison.
These light and momentary afflictions.
That is what they are.
Light and Momentary.
And yet there is a lump in my throat.
A lump.
I am thankful for my Dad.
What a treasure he is to me.
The kindness of the Lord to give him to me as my Dad.
I don't deserve him.
I don't deserve any precious gift.
Jesus.  You are most precious. Of all gifts. Most precious.
Thank you for life.
Ever-lasting.
Ever..... lasting.
Whew.
