God is Faithful

Today I wanted to find a text to send to a parent on a Caring Page - her daughter has an inoperable brain tumour. I quoted this text :"Remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it." 1 Corinthians 10:13. I thought it might help this mother, who is struggling to see her daughter go through so much. But then I thought about how much I need this text, too. Sometimes I struggle with the emotional and physical problems in caring for Miss 5 and forget that God placed her with us for a reason. He will not let it become too big a burden for me. I need to put my faith and trust in Him, knowing that He already knows my weaknesses - physical and mental - and He has promised to provide. Thank you, God, for being there for me.

This is a great testimony! What a great friend you are to be so thoughtful to help another through trying times too. These are words we all need to hear from time to time again.

Beautiful testimony.

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting our blog, and leaving a lovely comment. Junior is 70lbs so it is a challenge to lift him. We have a portable overhead lift in the house but when we are out I have to lift him in and out of my car as well as any other lifting needed.
The noodle pillows are awesome and we use them all the time,even at times to help while in his wheelchair or other seating devices. www.noodlepillows.com
