OK I think the Lord is speaking!! My last blog tells the details of how I ended up with a knee/leg injury that now causes me to hobble around. As of yesterday Dutch was also injured in his left knee & now he too hobbles. So the misspelled "kNEED" in the title was intentional. I told Dutch that the Lord is speaking to us, reminding us how much we NEED Him, He's also reminding us how important it is to pray & ask for protection every day. So while we're being convicted of the fact we need to be on our knees more, we are acutely aware of how painful that is since neither one of us can kneel too well!!
Perhaps I should explain his injury- in short it goes something like this: He cut his knee with the chain saw while cutting some branches off of the tops of trees that he was cleaning up to be used for firewood. Praise the Lord it was not very deep, but it's located right on his knee cap which makes walking & bending it a bit of a problem. While Dutch puts rubbing alcohol & cleansing agents on his knee, I sit there bending mine doing "therapy". Our kids are a little "put off" by our injuries- Madison commented that he thought this year was a "faith journey", and I suppose to him that meant nothing like this would happen. I tried to explain that a "faith journey" does NOT mean that everything goes exactly as we plan, but that we choose to trust God through whatever we face. So once again we use life experiences to teach our children about God & what we believe about His Sovereignty!! And once we again we as adults learn the importance of putting our trust in someone other than ourselves. God is GOOD & we NEED Him!!!
