Day 36: Leslie Workman
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. Psalm 104:33
My Boast is a partial continuation of last year's, where God gave us a new back deck, which ended up being a perfect backdrop for the pre-wedding photos for our son Christopher and Karen's wedding in October.
Since our children were born, Brian and I have been praying for their future spouses, that they would be kind, smart, funny, adore our sons and have a heart for Jesus. Christopher’s wife is all this and more. She is pretty, personable, strong, insightful, practical, fun to be with and very creative. Their joy is contagious, and we rejoice with them that God is good and so faithful!
Although satan continues to put physical problems in my flesh, I will boast in the Lord all the more. Weeks before the wedding, a tendon ruptured and completed severed in my foot; the one that stabilizes the ankle. This happened as a result from taking a medication for a different problem. I ended up having surgery and wearing a cast on my foot for their wedding, but God! Despite the setback, I was able to dance at their wedding anyway; the joy was so palpable!
It warms my heart to see our son in a blessed Christian marriage where they mutually adore, respect, encourage and love one other. There’s peace and strength in their union. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Prayer:
Dear Father God, thank You, for the kindness and goodness You add to our lives. Help us to always be grateful, in whatever way Your blessings come, and to be patient. Thank You for our families and for Your son Jesus, in whose name we pray.
