Dearest God,

Today I remembered again my limitations.  A subtle heat along with exhaustion from a long trip and weeks of work before leaving put me into bed all day.  Without a parathyroid and extremely sensitive to heat, I was too weak to do anything else.  On my first day "home" and laid low, I slept off and on all day.

Often I am reminded that you are the strength of my life.  When I am weak, my muscles laboring, my lungs seemingly unable to give me good, even breaths of air, and my voice raspy and cracking, my body gives in to rest for hours.  It is during such times I give thanks for my trust in you and your care for me.

Thank you,
O God,
for your
tender, loving care.
Thank you
for holding me
when I
am afraid.
Thank you
for the constancy
of faith
that upholds,
embraces,
and strengthens.

Love, Andrea
