Traveling Thoughts
As you can tell from the title I am on the road. Actually on my way back to Junction after a very long day in San Antonio. Had doctor’s appointment at Audie Murphy VAMC which went really super. I am on the mend, I am cancer free and I am praising the Lord for His faithfulness in all of this.
The last time I was here was three months ago and today was a follow-up and I would imagine I will see them about every three months for awhile. I have been blessed with good doctors and nurses at the VAMC in San Antonio and in Kerrville, Texas.
As I have shared before the Lord has been with me every step of the way! Giving me the strength to walk the path that I have been on. During all the time that I was in the hospital, recovering and going through surgery a second time, the Lord always gave me the opportunity to lift Him up and to share with others. To be able pray for them and to just listening to them at times.
This is not a path that I would have chosen but it is path that the Lord has been with me each and every step of the way. In ministering to others I was ministered to also by the Lord. I was blessed myself by the Lord.
We can use whatever it is in life that we go through as an opportunity to honor the Lord. We can make choices. We can become angry and bitter and give up or we can be like Joshua, we can choose to serve the Lord our God and allow Him to bring forth His purposes.
Who would have thought a year and a half ago that I would be sitting here at the keyboard, actually at my AlphaSmart Electronic notebook (that was giving to me as a gift last year before I had by second surgery) and be sharing my thoughts with others via Hill Country Thoughts.
God gives us opportunities to use all that we have for Him and in this case the Lord has given me a love for the internet and for those that use it and that it can become a means of helping others, a way of exhorting, lifting up and encouraging others in their walk in life.
What an awesome tool the Lord has given us, to be able to reach out and to touch others around the world. We never know who is reading what we have written, what we have shared, we may never know those who have visited and not left comments but none the less they were touched or encouraged by what you have shared or brought forth that day.
So keep on blogging, keep on sharing and put forth the things that the Lord has put on your heart for this day and trust the Lord for the outcome!
Be blessed and have a good evening!
Till tomorrow!!
Paul
