Bad headache came on. I responded to “let go” of duties and head to my room to rest. These kind often require meds as they escalate fast and furious. I have worked hard, sought out the best care, and overcome these for the most part, so to not be on these chemical medications anymore because they were destroying my body.
My sons prayed for me. Steeped Chai Tea (that was his word – “steeped it for you mom”), made fresh on the stove kettle popcorn and served me in bed. They proceeded to prepare our evening meal. Pizza! Homemade crust, homemade pizza sauce. Slicing, dicing, mmmm mmm goodness.
A few hours later, with only natural remedies, and really choosing “letting go” and “rest” as key- praise GOD the headache is…GONE!
And that pizza is THE BEST EVER! Maximus’ thin & crispy crust, with Isaac’s easy peasy and oh so delish sauce… yum.
God is so good. I used to not understand the gift and power of rest. It’s an inside out work of the Lord in my life. Something I have had to learn and learn again. I see SO MUCH GOOD accomplished when I choose to “let go”, TRUST GOD, and rest.
The sons that I prayed for before they were born (and before), are PRAYING FOR ME. They witness answered prayers. Prayers of the righteous powerful and effective. Serve one another with gladness. Team effort = we are the body of Christ = family.
Grateful for Jesus my Savior and His amazing gifts and grace!
