In sickness and health

I had a great weekend watching Lane and Corbin, seeing Karsten and visiting Whitney and Ty in Indianapolis.  I came home with a nasty cold which I haven’t had in a long time.  I got to thinking about when was the last time I was sick?  Over the past two years there was only one time that I was sick.  I had taken Neal to the hospital during the night because he was sick and had to be admitted.  I came home becausee we were having a consultant in the office.  I met with her in the morning then came home and threw up.  I had the 24 hour flu bug.  God was so good to allow me to be healthy during the whole time Neal was sick. The time I was sick Neal wasn’t at home!  It would have been dangerous and life threatening if he got sick since his immune system was so low.  Looking back, that was definitely a blessing. 

I made a covenant with Neal to stay by his side in good times and bad, in sickness and health till death do us part.  He did for me as well.  I am also in a covenant relationship with Christ.  He promises to stand by me in good times and bad, in sickness and health.  Because I am in a covenant relationship with Christ I am promised eternal life in death.  Neal was in that same covenant relationship with Christ so I know he is in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.  (Hebrews 9:15).

On the journey,
Trish
