How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. Psalm 36:7

 

Mumsy can't do much for herself, and when she does she usually gets into trouble. (We say she's up to her shenanigans again!) I get her dressed, I feed her, I read to her, I take care of her. She trusts me.

 

I can't do much for myself and when I do I get into trouble. (Do you think God says, "She's up to her shenanigans again!) I simply have to trust Him.

 

I trusted Him to save me from my sins (I hope you have! Nothing YOU do will get you to heaven, You must trust Him!) He saved me, He keeps me, He gives me my next breath. If it weren't for Him, I couldn't live. So what do I do? I go on trusting Him.

 

Every once in awhile mumsy forgets to trust me and starts panicking over something.
(Like losing her teeth the other night, and tearing through drawers, and searching in the toilet bowl, when all the while I knew where they were.) Craig said, "You don't have to worry about  anything, just ask Nancy." I said, "Mumsy, you don't have to panic about anything, just ask me!" Hmmmmm.

 

Every once in awhile I forget He is trustworthy and has everything under control.
I panic in the same way mumsy does and try to take care of things, when all the while He whispers, "Nancy, you don't have to panic about anything, I have it under control. Just ask me!" Oh, to learn my lesson!

 

Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.


Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate'er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Nancy, when visiting Ireland, I helped at a camp for the disabled. Oh what a lesson in trust I learned from these dear ones as they trusted ME, a complete stranger, to help them with their every need. And in them, I learned what it looks like to completely trust and how often I try to do things on my own, instead of trusting the very capable hands of my Savior. Thank you for reminding me of this lesson that I hope to grasp a little more each day! :)

Praying for you and for Mumsy!
