Perfect in weakness

Well, it has been a really interesting weekend. We started our three-day weekend with plans to spend a little time working and, of course, more time enjoying family and celebrating our risen SAVIOR. But...

I decided to start out Friday morning with a little tree trimming, nothing major but I would require the use of our 12 foot step ladder. Things went really well until they didn't...

I was in a bad location, and knew it before I began dating into the limb I ended up sawing through. I should have moved the ladder but wanted to get finished, and paid for my stubbornness. I ended up being knocked off the ladder, falling some 12 feet or so, and doing some damage to my right foot and left knee. The extent of the injuries will be revealed when I get an appointment with the orthopedist.

It could have been much worse. I could have had a head or back injury. I could have had my family trying to visit me in the hospital, or worse, but, GOD was merciful. Praise Him. Our weekend has been spent at home, with me staying off my foot as much as possible. I have felt bad about messing up my family's plans, though they, too, have been very merciful and gracious. Thanks to them.

And, all of that has led me to today's word. 2 Corinthians 12:9a, ESV, reads, "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness..."

Be Blessed,
