The Dark Road and His Loving Arms

It has been a strange, dark road that we have traveled down these past few months. We have heard gall stones, severe Meniere's disease, TMJ, migraines, rogue stones in the bile duct, prostate cancer, irregular heart beat, and lymphoma all since August. And last week, my cousin Gus passed away due to complications from Parkinson's disease and my friend Kellie was rushed to Brigham and Woman's from complications regarding her surgery. We have felt like Mother Teresa when she quipped, "God won't give us more than we can handle. I just wish He would stop trusting me so much."
But through all the insanity, He has carried us down this road in His loving arms. It is hard to think of God's love when the trials are so intense. But His love is even more intense than any trial we go through. Have you ever literally felt His peace overwhelm you? Have you felt the prayers of God's people? Has your church offered to make you meals for the entire month? Have Christian friends offered to drive your son to and from the airport? Have your friends cleaned your house for you - more than once? Have they done errands for you? Have they paid for expenses? Do your co-workers offer to do shopping for you (Trader Joe's rocks!) and deliver the groceries? These have been lights of His love shining down this dark road.
Though we don't know how long we will journey down this road, we know it will not last forever. We fully expect to be raised up once again. We can see a light at the end. And we know He will work all for good!
