Thank You LORD

You know GOD is good...I just got off the phone with my mom..In the past 3 years or so some of the dealings with my mom had gotten real hard..She seemed bitter and contrary. She was fussy alot..But since I have been gone[6 weeks today] and she has had to endure the results of 2 falls with broken bones all within a week without me there trying to fix everything[some of that control thing I let go of],I am starting to hear a change in her..I know that GOD has been changing and molding me..But I am seeing he is also doing a work in her. We just had the most wonderful chat about our prayer and thought life. She is realizing that she was also drifting away from a relationship with the LORD. That she was not appreciating the things or people in her life.Sometimes just saying things to or about people just to be mean.Just floating by..Strange,I think I remember writing about some of these things a few days ago..about myself..GOD sure does have a way of bringing his people back around. It really feels good to know that he is not only working in mine and Hap's lives but in people around us because of all that is going on.. All things do work together for his glory..Now I know my mom will still be my mom, But I do see changes going on..It is so wonderful....I am so thankful for all that is happening..And hopeful that soon we will begin to see things moving towards bringing all of our family back together..With our new member...She is doing great...I got a real out of the blue hug today..Really made me feel great. She just swooped in behind me and hugged me.. She is doing good. She is soaking up english like a sponge[not speaking so much of it but really understanding alot more] and learning about life outside the institution and about a family. One that GOD is preparing special just for her...
