The Heart In The Hospital

It has been a week full of excitment and yet much pain as well. With Ray only having 2 days left before he heads back to training there have been many stories and many laughs. I just finished my final preliminary testing for law enforcement, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. But with all good things that take place life always seems to throw a cruveball in the order of pitches we were swinging at. Heather's mom a few days ago started having some pretty bad nose bleeds, and over the coarse of a few days, many hospital visits, and many unanswered questions to what was causing the issue, we finally had surgery. It was a moment with the Holy Spirit like I've never had before. As Mrs.Betty was moved into surgery Mr.Lou went with her, and the rest of us in the family went into the over night room. As I walked in the room I paused to see many family's young and old, waiting, hoping, sleeping, praying. And then the Holy Spirit spoke to me so clear, and so soft. This is there Heart,(Love). How fragile life seemed at that moment, all these people waiting in the balance for answers for there loved ones to return to there arms. Life was in the Balance for many, and for some it may have softly passed without knowing. As I sat thinking about the outcome of many of those I have never met it made me think about my own futility. How one moment can change the eternity after life, how one moment can change the outcome of your physical life. I began to think about my Relationship with Christ if I were to go now would Christ be pleased with what I have done, with how I have served him. It was a gut check, but a tender touch of God's Love. I sat down and realized that The Heart In The Hospital checked my heart, grew my Love for my Savior. I dont want to get to the end and not Love him the way he Loves me. Or know him the way he wants me to know him. I love God's Spirit, He is truly a gentlemen. And a Savior who love's despite of who I am.
