Friday Wrap Up

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Ps. 1118: 24

I woke up with a migraine this morning.....and.....with this verse on repeat....going through my mind! No matter how much I want to succumb to the morose of this day....I can not!

Miracles abound, blogging friends, miracles abound!

Soul Reflections reports "Salvation is Here!" After praying for her husband's salvation, on April 15th, her husband made a faith commitment! "After 36 years of marriage, I feel like a newly wed again! God is faithful to keep His promises. Promises of household salvation. Promise that if we are persistent and persevere He will honor that. He stored up all my tears of supplication and standing in the gap for my Mike and granted His salvation in a beautiful simple moment."

Heather is going in today at 4:00 p.m. for a second opinion/consultation. Be in prayer. And while you're praying, don't forget to thank God for the growing monetary blessing He has sent Heather's way! Oh, Heather, you are so right! "God IS good, ALL the time!"

Part Six of Kev's miracle has been posted and we are anxiously awaiting Part Seven! For his mom's, always, poignant perspective, visit Dawn! What a miracle of deliverance and restoration we are blessed to be able to read.

Today, at 1:30 p.m. my DH will join my MIP ('miracle in progress'--thanks Morning Glory!) for a joint therapy session. While I so-o-o-o want to be there......my son told me yesterday why he invited his Dad only. "Mom, Dad and I have things we need to work on. He is my biggest barrier to moving forward and, yet, the one I want to please the most." I'm still trying to process that! Putting my mother's ego aside, this is a very good thing! For the last year, my DH has been intentionally mentoring our son, meeting with him for breakfast, lunch, dinner, movies, bowling, and just to talk. My DH is a pretty fabulous man who has chartered his life with high standards, incredible goals, and a work ethic that would kill a lessor man! In fact, when I met him 36 years ago, he already had a life plan! Sadly, I didn't know what I was doing the next weekend! Clearly, we make a balanced team!

He has been meeting with our adult son, guiding him with ideas and plans that have always worked in his own life. It seems, that while our son has benefited much from this Dad time....he also believes that unless he does things exactly like his Dad does....he fails. And although our MIP is just a darker version of his Dad, that's where the similarity ends. This is the young man who said in a counseling session a few years back, "I can't succeed like my Dad can--but he can't fail like I can." How does this confusion happen! Hence, the barrier. Still, the heart connections remain and he wants to please his Dad. Please pray that this joint therapy session will be a start; the beginning of meaningful communication that will lead to our MIP's independence, health, and happiness.

Later this morning, I am going in for a facial and to correct the only mistake ( ;) ) God ever made (highlighting my hair to the color it should have been!). Facials are a new luxury for me, but a necessary one; while the hot flashes of menopause have subsided, it seems the cells of my skin are having some trouble regenerating on their own. And since we have our annual "After Tax Season Party" tonight, let the regeneration begin!!!

Yes, April 17th was the last day of Tax Season (or busy season as it is now called in accounting circles)! Do I hear a WOO-HOO!!!

Have a great weekend blogging friends! Thanks for your visit!
