No Coincidences

The longer that I walk with the Lord by faith the more certain that I am that there are no such things as coincidences.  Today my brother and I took my mother down state where she had a medical test that went very well I might add ( Praise the Lord).  Thank you all who prayed for safe travels and good test results.  I really appreciate it.

The Lord blessed us with great travel even though the weather reports said it was going to snow and the wind was going to blow 40 MPH,  but thankfully it wasn't bad while we were on the road.  I was able to drive down and that was a great blessing to be able to do that. 

The nurse that prepped my mother for the test that she had was a great blessing as well.  Let me back track a little bit.  About 19 years ago my mom was in the hospital for two months.  She was at a local hospital for a month and down state for a month.  Well there was a nurse that took care of her at that hospital during that month down state and her name was Jody. 

The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways because today that same nurse way back then was the same nurse that help my mom get ready for her test today.  I thought that was a great blessing.  I even remembered her full name which kind of took her by surprise. 

I don't think nurses get the credit they deserve most of the time.  They work hard and have to deal with all the hardships of what the job entails and sometimes people just don't treat them with the respect that they deserve.  I takes a special person to do the hard work of a nurse and I think that goes for anyone in the health care field.

The Lord puts people in our path for various reasons.  Sometimes people need encouragement.  Sometimes people need a shoulder to lean on.  Everyone needs to hear the life changing new of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

We who are believers in Jesus Christ have a purpose that we are to live up to and that purpose is to live for Jesus and to tell others about Him.  May we learn to use our time wisely and may we use our time to live for the Lord in such a way that others would be drawn to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Lord,

Thank You for Your love.

Thank You for life's blessings that You shower upon us.

We pray for nurses and those in the health care field.

I pray that Your light would shine through me drawing others to You.

I praise Your name O Lord.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.
