Random Ramblings

My wife says I ramble sometimes. I don't think I do, but if this appears like I am, I apologize in advance.

Yesterday, Aaron stayed home from school with a cough, a runny nose, and a fever. His father (me, if you aren't aware of that by now) stayed home with him. While he slept, I caught up on some of my reading. I've read this particular work cover to cover a couple times in my life, and I always find something new and wonderful in its pages. If you're wondering, or perhaps taking a guess, it was the Bible. In particular, it was the New Testament. I read it all, Matthew to Revelation. I think I needed to read it again yesterday. Jesus has so much love for His children. I am just a man, but to Him, I'm a wonder. I'm a marvel. I'm His creation. The same can be said about the beggar on the street. Circumstances in life don't make Him love us any more or any less; because He created us all in His image. I'm really struggling this holiday season with missing Gracie and wanting her to see all the beautiful Christmas lights, open all the wonderful presents, and just to be here again. But, she's got a wonderful Christmas in store for her up there. I know that because He is a loving God, who adores His children. He's a better Father than I will ever be, and she's in tremendous, perfect Hands. I keep reminding myself of that when I am lying awake at night and wiping the tears from my eyes. I keep reminding myself of that when I walk into Gracie's bedroom (which will always be her bedroom). I keep reminding myself of that when I am on my knees in desperate prayer to Jesus Christ. She's in great Hands. She's in perfect Hands. All right, was that rambling?
