Joy comes in the morning

"You have delivered my soul from death;
have You not kept my feet from falling
that I may walk before God in the light of the living?"
Psalm 56:13

"Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning."
Psalm 59:16

God has answered my prayer to Him on Monday of this week that I might really know that I am His. On Wednesday morning, as I struggled to keep my failing wits about me as I dialed 911, He brought many angels to my rescue in the form of my student, Madison, a teacher, Mrs. Raitt, a secretary, Mrs Buckley, a principal, Dr. Bob, and the Paramedic, Justin. Not to mention the many nurses and doctors who for two days and one long night took care of me. My closest companion, Rich, stood by me and let everyone know what was going on. Two of the best friends, who are also a critical care nurse (Courtney) and a lay chaplain, (Lisa) came quickly to my bedside to offer encouragement and support. God took care of Rich, also, in providing Gary to sub for him. Gary is also a lay chaplain at the hospital. I had my two Pastors come for a visit and they prayed over me. Their prayers meant so much. My ear hangs on every word of prayers that were prayed over me and my eye lingers on every word of scripture that I am reading. They are truly life givers to me at this time. My friend, Diana, just left my home after providing me with lunch, and dinner for tonight, and a heartfelt prayer while holding my hands. My life, my husband, my children are more precious to me than ever. God is so good, so real and so true. Praise be to Him!
