He's Been Faithful

Tomorrow will be our last day at the rent house.

I. Am. exhausted!

It seems like our schedule has been more overloaded this time around. I guess there are a few reasons for that:

1. An extra grandchild to babysit
2. TWO Bible studies to facilitate during the entire house sale, house hunt, house prep & rental
3. A bum knee (BTW - I have an MRI scheduled)
4. Multiple surgeries among our church people. (We have one dear Saint -- a precious 90 year old gentleman -- that is not expected to make it through the next 24 hours)
   
5. I'm a year older !?? Could that possibly affect anything here? :)

Anyway, tomorrow I will cease to live out of a suitcase -- for at least two weeks -- no joke, we will be gone again the middle of May. Oh well!

Here are a couple pics showing some of the exciting "entertainment" in my recent past :)

CLEANING WINDOWS

MORE CLEAN WINDOWS
AND FRESHLY CLEANED CARPETS
(There are a lot of windows in this house!)

(There's a board propping up the fence, however,
there's a new fence scheduled to be installed this week.)

My job there is almost complete. One more vacuuming, final shining in the kitchen and bathrooms, then, packing up all the equipment.

This has made me think of the dear man whose life is slipping away as I type. He is 90 years old and is a patriarch of our church. Hubs says that he cannot remember a time that this dear one did not say "I love you, Pastor" when departing. As think over the many years that we have known him, I realize that his life here on earth is almost complete. He has run the race and fought the good fight. He has done his part to allow God's light shine bright through him. He's tired and ready to go Home. We will miss him -- desperately so. However, I am jealous for him to go to his reward and be with his Savior that he dearly loves. He will leave a legacy -- of love and faithfulness to his God and of His God's faithfulness to him.

Once again, God has shown His faithfulness to us. He IS faithful -- whether or not things go as we want or expect, God is still and always will be faithful. What a Savior!

Love,
