“Tell Someone You Love – You Love Them”

Praise the Lord Beloved.
Happy Monday to you.

This past weekend was one that saw horror, fear and some confusion as my family experienced a crisis we never saw coming. While visiting my brother and other family and friends in Austin, Texas, while preparing for a trip our beloved mother Elnoria Butler was found by a granddaughter unconscious and immediately rushed to an Austin, Texas area hospital for immediate surgery.

Thanks to God first, a quick-thinking brother and sister-in-law our mother is
as of this blog post recovering with loving family members by her side.

Beloved, everyone’s life crashes into a serious illness sooner or later. Maybe it happens to you, maybe your spouse, or maybe someone else close to you, but no one is immune. Fear and uncertainty arrive at the moment of diagnosis, weighing down patients that are alert or for family members with an overwhelming question: What do I (we) do next?

But, when the crisis comes it’s important that everyone come peacefully together to answer the question: What do I (we) do next?

Now, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or frightened, or anxious when we’re told about a loved one’s illness. But you know beloved, many families are shredded apart when a crisis is centered.

Some for personal gain, some for manipulation, and some for the purpose of true agape (love).
But love and peace becomes futile when there’s massive unrest is in a family.

I thank God for His Productive Words of healing in a time of a crisis.

Ephesians 2:14-22  ESV)
¹⁴ For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. ¹⁸ For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, ²¹ in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Beloved, today reach out to someone you love and tell them you love them,
because telling them later- JUST MIGHT BE TOO LATE.

Please keep my mother and my family in your prayers as we go through this crisis.

I love you all!!!
Have a blessed Monday Everyone. 😀
