Get Me to My Granddaughter

Late at night as the evening was dark so was my heart. Feeling weighed down by issues in life I decided to take a tour down memory lane instead.

As I thumbed thru my photo album I came across a picture of me and some of my granddaughters when we were at the beach. The picture I found brought a smile to my face and many good memories to remember.

The first that came to mind for some reason was the phrase I have said many a times, "just get me to my granddaughter(s) and I will be all right." Times when I have struggled with my cancer and was having difficulty walking or standing they always have known what to do.

It was my adopted granddaughter Lelania that walked me across the finish line at the breast cancer walk when my scooter died on me. It was my granddaughter Marissa who drove me places I needed to go to. It was my granddaughters Brooke and Aubrey who helped me walk out of the dentist office when I had sat too long. Even my grandson has helped me several times too. It's just wonderful knowing I have them to count on.

The help we get from Jesus is just as wonderful. He is someone we can count on. Like the bleeding woman in the Bible knew all she needed to do was get to Jesus, we need to know that as well. Like I know my grand kids will be able to help me we should know in our hearts Jesus can and will too.

As I have said before "just get me to my granddaughter(s) and/or grandson and I'll be all right" we need to say it even more when it comes to Jesus. "Just get me to Jesus and I will be all right."

What a wonderful phrase, what a glorious truth!

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
