Gift Return

Remember how I said  we were to consider the trials and difficulties as a gift? 

I am seeing Corona Virus as a gift.  Just to name one thing, I am an introvert who loves home. I get to spend Sundays at home watching sermons and crafting instead of going here and there.  I really like sheltering in place Sundays!!

I can accept Mom's hospitalization as a gift.  She is not in pain and seems to be in good spirits.

I am embracing a broken heart and being single as a real gift.  I can barely keep up with my drama why would I want someone elses.

But that "My son has schizophrenia,"  well I would like to return that one.  Does anyone know where I can return that gift?

In honesty I know things could be so much worse.  He is taking medication without complaint and  functioning without crazy.  It has just added a cloud of stress over the house.  I struggle not to worry over multiple things regarding him.  I am struggling to count it all joy.

With all that said, please pray:


  • Mom has multiple procedures scheduled for tomorrow- Monday May 4th.  Pray for the doctors to have wisdom and Mom to be a peace throughout.
  • Peter needs some kind of work or job.  He needs it for financial reasons but I believe also for him to have some purpose and schedule.  I am also asking God to send people who will speak truth, kindness and mercy to him.  He seems so alone and lost.  
  • And pray that I will have a big picture, eternal perspective so that I can count it all joy and consider it a gift.
