The Gospel reading for yesterday was the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus from  Luke 24. The sermon I heard made some really strong points. One of those was that those two were headed the wrong way. They were  headed away from where all the excitement was. Then the preacher said, “Even if you are going the wrong way, Jesus is walking with you.”

You can understand that many different ways, but I found comfort in the thought that He is always with me, especially in times of uncertainty and when there are difficult decisions to be made.

My mom should be moving to a rehab facility today to strengthen her for her next move. Even though this is a difficult time, I have peace in my heart. I’m not boasting, because the peace I have doesn’t come from who I am or what I have done. I have the peace that Jesus gives to me.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

 I pray that my family will have that peace as we go through this together, and that those of you reading this will have that peace as well.
