A Day of Rest

Today was a good day. We both got some sleep in the night after Kim finally got settled. Today is Sunday here and a very quiet day as Wockhardt hospital goes. Lots of folks are off and the usual busyness gives way to a much more quiet day. We spent today mostly resting and Kim recouping from yesterday. We worshipped again and thought just how blessed we normally are on the Lord's Day to be with His people but we certainly didn't feel alone by any stretch of the imagination. We started the day with a visit from physiotherapy for her exercises. They'll be back in a little while to do more and likely to get her up on her feet! She probably won't go far but the Dr says she's ready to test out her 2 new hips. Glad we rested most of the day. It's amazing how fast your body can get weak when you don't use it or if you experience some trauma like surgery. I guess use or lose applies in so many ways. Surely the same prinicple applies to us spiritually. We've begun to understand a bit more about what it means to rely totally on the Lord, our prayers, your prayers, and His will. Weakness, or maybe our unwillingness to admit our weakness and need is perhaps one of our greatest weaknesses. I think Paul said, "when I am weak, then I am strong." Several have quoted in blog comments and emails Phil 4:13 that we "can do all through Christ who strengthens us." If only we could learn how that works, we could do so much more with Him working in us. We could sympathize more ably with others weaknesses and be able to minister to so many more people in His name. Our day has been a blessed one because of the One who is with us. We pray your day will be as blessed.
