This was a very powerful reminder of the gift of giving it all up to God that I was in need of at this very moment. It’s way too easy to slip back into the exhausting and overwhelming “I’ve got this” role and lose sight of who really does. Thank you for the eloquent reminder.
I'll try this before I get moving today. I've decided to take a holiday from attending church which many days is full of assignments and absent of Christ. Let me warn you about dog under the rocker. About six months ago my 4 lb. Chihuahua, "Candy", climbed under my big lounge chair and I didn't know it. She too likes small hiding places from the cats. The chair was reclined. When I sat up to get out of the chair, I was horrified to hear crying. Candy had climbed up into the chair's mechanism and her tiny apple head was caught between two bars, she was hanging. A friend and I tried unsuccessfully for 20 minutes to pry the bars apart, broke a hammer in the process. I called the fire department and three large heros arrived promptly with a big metal shim and sledge hammer. All the while I was asking God, "is this the way my Candy is going to leave me? It took 50 years to find her." Both Candy and the chair came out of it unscathed. I thanked the Lord, and my brother-in-law wrapped netting around the base of "big easy", as I refer to my favorite place on earth given to me by a former beloved neighbor, Mr. Melidosian. Now a word for Peter ... Bill's dad passed away on May 19th at the age of 93, a blessed life indeed.
What a story!! Horrible. I don’t know if I would have survived it if the rescue hadn’t come. To allay your fears - our rocker is an old fashioned wooden rocker. No mechanisms and I can see puppy at all times!! But the warning is duly noted! Blessings for Bills dad. A long life indeed. 🕊️

Thank God it’s NOT all up to us. (You can circle back and remind me again too!) 😂
