Autumn winds have rolled out the red carpet in our garden. A
red carpet which is the centre of attention, rather than glamourous actors
posing for publicity. A red carpet to be admired for itself.
The beauty of autumn! I just love it. (Yes, Doug, even when
the leaves have fallen…messy as it may get!)
I’ve been praying the Ephesians 3 prayer over Mom. ‘I pray
that out of his glorious riches he (Jesus) may strengthen you with power
through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your heart
through faith.’
I’ve been praying that Mom’s faith, so challenged by
circumstances, would strengthen enough that she could roll out the red carpet
for Jesus to really dwell in peace, power and light in her inner being, despite
these limitations she’s struggling with. I’ve been praying that she could
recover her glow for God, and once again be a beacon of light and hope for
those around her.
Last night I had a joyful moment of speaking with her on the
phone. It was the old Mom back, telling me what a wonderful day she was having,
mainly because she had just enjoyed a delicious bit of chocolate ice cream
cake.
Never doubt the power of prayer to change situations. May
she continue to glow for God until that moment that he embraces her home.
