From Nursery to Nursing Home

So it is Sunday and today I am going to give out alot from Nursery to Nursing Home. From the one end of the spectrum (just learning to walk) to the other end (not able to walk well any more). Oh but so much walking was done by those in the last group. A whole lifetime of walking and living. Many of them faithful walking with Jesus walkers and some who haven't yet walked with Him but He continues to urge to come and do so before they reach their very last day on earth. And the first group are just getting started and we get to help them a bit on the way to walking with Jesus.
The last time the group who minister in the homes of the forgotten, as I think of them, there was a grumbley old man who was rough and hard by his words and demeanor. Nothing about him made a person want to hang around with him. Yet he came and sat in his wheel chair along the wall and when I stopped to talk with him and offer to pray he asked me questions about general stuff while hanging on to my hand. (one of my boys visited a nursing home in kindergarten and came home saying "I know one thing, when an old person holds your hand they never let go!")  Eventually he began to tear up and soften and I was privileged to lead him in a prayer of repentance and salvation! Who but God knew that was scheduled for my walk that day....even though I should go expecting. We will see what today holds.

Well this could maybe be the good, the bad, and the ugly since there does seem to be that mix this week. Some good events like the progress of the marriage seminar which is pretty exciting are coming together and I am pretty sure while I am doing my part, God has given me something to implement that He knew I would need His help in. So that tells you there is lots of opportunity to keep giving it to Him as far as the care and stress of it might go. So far as of last sunday we have 9 couples signed up from our church with a possible 3 more! Meaning half of our original ticket package is spoken for. The rest will go quickly and hopefully we will go beyond even the ones left.
And then on a personal side I am mid-pause. Those of you ladies who have been or are now know that your emotions almost sabotage you with moodiness and crankiness and in general get trip wired very easily. I really dislike that I am experiencing those symptoms in particular because I am simply not as patient as usual and its downright embarrassing!
It doesn't help that I have put off my CE classes until nearly last minute (I and 1/2 months to squeeze online classes in which by the time I can get to them nearly guarantee my eyes will slam shut and I will nod off so I will be squeezing them in, in bits and pieces through out my days) And then tax filing and oh well stuff of life in general lots of little things that add up to big annoying things (picture the difference between one ant eating a piece of bread and many ants eating one piece of bread) Yeah so today feels like many ants...which takes me back to God knowing I would not be able to accomplish the seminar in my own strength.
