Forever...

Before I begin today's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I would like to let you know that today is a special day.  And, it will always be special... forever.

Certainly, in a good way, since it is my great-grandson's first (1st) birthday!  Happy Birthday, E!

It's also a sad day for me.

Why?

It's the anniversary of when the hospital told my daughter and I that they wanted to end my husband Gordon's life. 

Even though they agreed he was healing and getting better, they let us know that it was no longer our choice to keep Gordon alive.  They didn't want Gordon to live.

Why?

Because, they were afraid that when he was to wake up, he might be paralysed.  Unable to move.

So, they told us that they wanted his life to end.  And, made arrangements for it.

It didn't happen on October 9th, 2009... after all.  Instead, Gordon's life ended a half hour after midnight.  Meaning... 12:30 a.m. on the 10th of October.  :'(

With today being our Lord's Day, I'll be going to worship, just as I usually do.

As you know, I enjoy worshipping through music... in addition to worshipping in spirit and in truth.

Some music has resonated within me, lately.  So, I'm sharing it with you, today.

It's sung by Chris Tomlin, and is entitled, Forever.  Here's a link for you to listen to and/or sing along:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUH_NzfRmbs.  The lyrics are below.

Forever

Give thanks to the Lord our God and King
His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever

Sing praise, sing praise

With a mighty hand and outstretched arm
His love endures forever
For the life that's been reborn
His love endures forever

Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise

Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever

From the rising to the setting sun
His love endures forever
And by the grace of God we will carry on
His love endures forever

Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise

Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever

Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise

Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever

Forever You are faithful
Forever You are strong
Forever You are with us
Forever

Just as the lyrics say, forever God is faithful, forever God is strong.  Forever God is with us.  Forever.

For this, I am truly thankful.

After all, He has helped me and been with me, throughout my life.  In good times, and in not so good times.

Thinking about how thankful I am, brought to mind, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

In everything, I will always give thanks... for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus... concerning me... and you.

I have and will always give thanks to Him... for being with me, even though the horrible times of my life.

Of course, I will always give thanks for the good times of my life.

Thank You, Lord!


Until next time...
