I needed my back row today!!
Read: Hebrews 1:23-25
I guess I need to explain. I took the
semester off of choir at GPUMC. My back row is not what you all see
while we are up there singing our anthem each week. The entire group
is a family that we can always turn to in our time of need and in
good times.
I am feeling a lot of loss in the last
few months. I know my daughter Lindsey is graduating from GP South,
and most likely playing soccer at Hope College. I am treasuring each
second with her and her friends, making lunch when I can and waiting
up till all hours of the night for them to return safely.
My father in law is in hospice and took
a turn for the worst last Friday. They came to our house on Friday to
celebrate Moms 88th birthday, I knew things were bad when he ate
little, and felt sick (he can eat like crazy; but he did have a
healthy piece of ice cream cake!!) See this man has been my DAD for
the last 26 years. He taught me to dance before my wedding (the
traditional polka) and was like Marie on Everyone Loves Raymond
trying to get into the delivery room when Mitch and Lindsey were
born. They were our saviors when we needed a date night and took such
good care of our kids, at OUR beck and call! He made the loveliest
wooden toys for the kids that will be passed down to generations of
Makos children.
Then there was the news of Ron and
JeriLynn’s accident. I am scared for them, and I am praying hard
for them. Ron is such a wonderful and entertaining guy, and a friend
since high school. JeriLynn is his heart and soul. I hurt for them
and for the teen that was texting before he hit them. (We all need to
learn NOW to put the phone down!!!) I know that the church family
will be there for them.
God said to keep a memorial rock for
the beautiful things he has given us;
Let us find our rocks and be thankful
for all the glory he has given;
Thank you, God, for my wonderful
Husband and Children Mitchell and Lindsey.
Thank you for My Mother and Father in
Law that have served as MY parents for the last 27 years
Thank you Lord for Ron and JeriLynn;
Please Bless Them and Keep them.
And Thank you Lord for My back row;
AKA; My Church Family to which I can always turn to and get a
Kleenex!!!
