Psalm 90:12 Originally written 4-30-13

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  Psalm 90:12  (NIV)

Lord, this is a verse I didn't expect to jump out at me this morning but I see Your wisdom in it.  First I arrive home last night at 8:15 to find paramedics in front of my house.  I had to park at my neighbors to come see what was happening.  Randy was having jaw and chest pains and because he was alone he called for help.

By the time I arrived the pain was pretty much gone and he would not let them take him for more tests.  He had a Dr appointment already set up and his EKG didn't show any problem.  I promised them I wouldn't leave him alone and called work friends and explained that I would be in late the next day.

The other issue is worry over my 'daughter' who is choosing to spend time with old friends who have pulled her into their drug lifestyle in the past and I am worried that she will have a lapse.  My heart is breaking and yet only God can intervene and have positive results.

We have no idea when our time is up and I do not want to waste the time I have left worrying or being broken by loss.  So God I give you my day.  Keep my eyes on You and Your loving ways.  Use me if You wish, but never leave my side.
