I took my sister Nellie to the Airport today I Know Nellie is having a hard time leaving. Nellie has always been very close with Mark. Mark is a really good big brother. Mark would let Nellie tag along with him all the time. He was always good about bringing home Nellie special treats. Nellie got to spend the morning with Mark before she left. I no that she enjoyed her time alone with Mark.
Lilly was visiting Mark on Thursday night and she told Mark that Nellie was going home on Saturday. Mark did not like to hear that Mark said that he would like her to stay and that she had never left home until she got married and then she moved to Amarillo TX. Mark is very close to all of us. We have been blessed to have him for a big brother.
I took my sister Nellie to the Airport so she could fly home to be with her family. Then I went to go see Mark to watch him do his swim therapy at 4:00, Mark was sleeping the therapist Kelly decided that Mark was to tired from Thanksgiving to get in the water today. Marks door was shut so I did not wake him. It is not easy seeing Mark day after day. All the things that are so easy for us are very difficult for him.
Our Uncle John flew in to see Mark today. My niece Elaine and Nellie pick him up and took him to go see Mark at the Hospital. My Mom was in the room when my Uncle John walk in to see Mark. Mom loved seeing Uncle John see Mark. Uncle John had not seen Mark since he was in the coma at the other Hospital. Mark was so happy to see Uncle John. Our Uncle has been a great Uncle to us all. We have all felt the great love he has for us! I ask Uncle John did you have a great visit with Mark. Uncle John replied O wonderful! He then told me that he taught he would come here to see if he could help in any way! Uncle John then said that he was surprised at how much he was blessed by Mark. Mark does have a glow about his face the Lord definitely has filled Mark. I believe this is because Mark is seeing his self as a person that is in need of God. Mark also is aware of his sin in his life he has stated that to me on more than one occasion. We have to see the sin in our life to see the need for God! We are slaves to sin! Sin brings about pain and suffering, sin also brings about separation from a Holy God! We have to be free from sin to become free. This will only happen if we ask the one that paid the ultimate price for all that would believe on him, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior for forgiveness. We most see the need to do this so that we can see sin for what it. Sin is separation from a Holy God! True restoration will only accrue when sin is taken away that can only be done thought the cross. Payment was made on Calvary. Let us open are eyes and see what that cost really was! That cost was pain and suffering. That cost was separation from a Holy God that could not be in the presence of sin. Jesus allowed him self to be separated from the father on be half of us purely out of Love. Thought out all eternity Jesus was never separated from the Father until he took our sin upon him how much must God truly love us. Could we ever really understand the great love he has for us or are we only capable of Knowing a worldly love. I don't think I will truly comprehend Gods love for me until I stand before him and I and changed by him on that great and final day when I will be given a new name and a transformed into a new body!
