Shoe-box Full of Money

Husband Finds Wife Has a Shoe-box Full of Money. He Confronts Her And an Amazing Story Unfolds                                                                                                                                                                                
A Man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything,                 They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box, in the top  of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years,he had never thought about the box,but one day the His wife got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the husband took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it,he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.                                                                                                                                                                                            He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married,"she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue,She told me that if I got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll"                                                                                                                                                                            The Husband was so moved; he had to fight back the tears.                                                                     Only two precious dolls were in the box. Fancy that!!!!!!!                                                                                          
She had only been angry with him "two times" in all those 60 years of living and loving.              
He almost burst with happiness.
                                                                                                                                                                    "Honey he said "that explains the two dolls,
but what about all of this money?1316000142_shoebox-money                             
Where did it all come from?
"Oh that!" She said. "That's all the money I made from selling the crocheted  dolls!"

Why didn't I think of this???????

Sweetest Man

Mr C, my darling man, sweet as cherry pie,easy going,and so happy to be alive, days are simple without a lot of action,our routine is pretty simple,we wake have coffee,get into the word,pray,have breakfast,take pills,"arrrrrrrrrrg!"urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrch!"
I wish Mr C did not have to take these pills-------------------------These past few weeks He wakes up feeling good, it seems right after taking his pills "comes the side effects", our morning becomes hours of recovery, and then when feeling half way normal He can take a shower and we start our day.

All the feelings that overwhelm Him,causing different floods of emotions, causes ups and downs.
I can be insensitive to these emotions, as we have been living with them for quite some time now, I have a tendency to not acknowledge them, this is good and bad, if I react this is bad!!!!!!!!!!!! If I respond this can be better..

The Lord has been doing some deep cleaning in my soul and showing me much that He wants to change in me, also the fact that as a 57 year old woman my own body is going through things and judgement can get muddied,
I looked at Mr C tonight and saw a man hurting ,all I could do was hold him and cry with him.

We know whom we serve, and we know who our hope is in, and we know the Lord's presence is upon us,and His faithfulness and grace are sufficient,His mercy has been extended to us abundantly,

Tonight reality showed us real life and how we hurt and feel and are not in control of our lives, 
We live in this fallen world,and with is comes a lot of pain and suffering.
We do not like what is going on in our lives, I am very "Sorry" that My Dear Husband is having to live out the difficulties of this brain cancer, and that I can not take away this pain that invades his body. 
He walks in a daze at times,pacing the floor nervously,aimlessly,restlessly,sits staring into nothingness,
Disease is real and it can not be ignored, pain is real and it pulsates and radiates through every nerve, this brain cancer is committed to kill, steal, destroy! 
                                                 
I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Beat the walls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!               RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!   I look into my mans eyes and see his pain, a man hurting,who does not want to be sick,                                                              He looks Great! I wish he felt as good as he looks!              

his brain must feel like this.                                                                        I can only imagine.

Can you make sense of this? Neither can he! This is how His day can be....No sense....
I will be so very honest----------------------sometimes this can all be very overwhelming.
TIME OUT::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mr C any more is so quick to go into prayer---------
A breath of fresh air fills the room and gives us new life and meaning,
"Jesus",our hope,our future",and we are so sweetly reminded,  what time we are given on this earth is so "temporary" compared to ---eternity,
how much longer Lord Jesus? 
You have shown much compassion on us, 
and yet we ask how much Longer? 
We long to see you Lord Jesus, 
and yet we pray earnestly crying for the Salvation of our Children, grandchildren, our Loved ones, and friends who still have yet not believed you are the only way,truth and life.
Your peace comes upon us, and we are sweetly reminded,

What heart could hold the weight of Your love
And know the heights of Your great worth
What eyes could look on Your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Your name alone has power to raise us
Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on Your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like You, God?
Who shall we say You are
You're the living God
Who shall we say You are
You're the Great I AM
The highest name of all
You're all You say You are
And You shall come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on Your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like You, God?
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus, You are
Jesus, You are

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9

One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Psalms 27:4
No Matter how bad our day,Mr C can still have a genuine heart of gratitude and thankfulness.
Praying the Lord's will over our lives daily, His will be done.
Bless the Lord.
