I went to go see Mark yesterday. I took my three boys with me to see there Uncle. Mark was a wake Ronnie was asleep. I cant imagine how hard this most be on Roinne she does not leave very often, and she is there for all Marks therapy's. Everything thing Mark has to do Mark has to learn all over again nothing comes easy to Mark every little thing he does is hard. Mark seen me he told me to come in. I told him the boys were out in the lobby. He told me to have them come in sow he could say hi. I went and got the boys they love their Uncle very much and they have been looking forward to see him. Mark was happy to see them too. My boy Mark has these big brown eyes and I can see the love right thought them every time he is around his Uncle he lights up.
My sisters came in not long after I got there. Mark was very glad to see Lilly and Nellie. Mark ask were is Mom. Lilly told him she was in the car she said" you seen her yesterday don't you remember". Mark got aggravated at what Lilly said. He told lilly don't you think I would remember my own Mom. I love her! Lilly told him yes I do think you would remember Mom then Mark was ok.
Yesterday was a beautiful day we ask Mark if he wanted to go for a walk outside he said yes. So we took him outside this was the first time I had gotten to go out side with Mark since his accident. This felt so nice to see my brother out side of the hospital. We were all able to see him enjoy the fall fresh air it was not really warm, but when we step out in to the sun the warmth from the sun warmed are hole body. The feeling of this day I will never forget. We got to walk for about a hour with him. At one point Mark was holding Benjamin's hand as Roinnie was pushing Mark I ask Benjamin later that night about it and he told me he loved holding his Uncle's hand. Benjamin has seen his Uncle Mark In the hosptal when he was in the coma. So seeing Mark talk and looking better had to very reasuring to Benjamin. We stop walking and rested at the park a cross the street from the Hospital. The kids played in the fall leaves,A few of the kids gave Mark some big old oack leaves that had fallen from the trees. Mark grab some from Nellies boy Charles and said " I love them"and he put them to his face and smiled big at charles. We sat and talked with Mark while the kids were playing.
My Uncle had called my sister Nellie to ask her if she could find a ticket to fly in for Thanksgiving Nellie told him she would try. Mark seen Nellie talking on the phone, he ask "who is that Nellie". Nellie told him it was Uncle John, Mark said "he wanted to talk to him". Nellie gave Mark the phone. Mark said "hi to Uncle John" he then told my Uncle he would like to start reading his bible when he was to himself more. They talked some more then Mark said "by Uncle I love you".
I woke up early this morning with a thought and a title for today. But did not get up right away to put it down. I have lost my thought. I really wish I would have gotten up and wrote it down it was a good thought I believe the Lord gave it to me. I have prayed and ask the Lord for it back and I have not gotten it back yet. I believe the Lord has laid this one my heart. LOST!
How many times would the lord have used me if I would have taken the time to be obedient to him. If my purpose in this life is Gods purpose, would I not have work that would need to be done. Would God want me to share him with someone! Would God want me to help someone in need on his behalf. Would God may want me to take the time to just stop by and say hi to someone that might be lonely. Maybe give them a hug and let them know that they are loved by God. That God had Laid that person on your heart. That God loves them! Does God want me to take time out of my day to pray with someone that is needing prayer? So many times we get so busy we do not take the time to share the Lord when there might be a opportunity to do so. When that opportunity is lost it is lost we can not take it back, just like that thought the Lord had given me earlyer this morning it is lost! Help me see the importance of doing what you ask of me when you ask me to do it. Help me to do the these things you want me to do. I know from the past that when I do what you would want me to do I am blessed. I am blessed by helping that person! I am blessed by the person that needed the hug because there hug was a blessing back to me. I am blessed by the person that needed prayer because I also needed to pray! I am blessed by sharing the Lord with others that wanted to hear about him because I know the Lord is dealing with them maybe they might come to know the Lord! Allow me to take the time that you need from me, so that you can use me! I am truly blessed when I am used by you!
My Dad and brothers flew back to day! I was so glad because Mark had been asking everyday where they were. We would tell him that they had work to go do in Caiforinia. Mark would always say O I understand. But I seen a sadness in Mark. Mark was missing them very much. When ever we call them on the phone Mark loves talking to them. Every time he talks to them he ask them when are you coming back. They tell him soon and Mark would say good I cant wait to see you! I was not there today when they went into the room to see Mark but I would have love to have been. I took My sisters little boys home with me so that they could stay and visit Mark. I was told by my sister's Mark lit up when he seen Dad, Charles and Sunnie. I know this has to be good for Mark because his spirits are so good when there around. Mark has always loved being with his Dad and brothers. I would have loved to been there last night just see Marks face. I also felt I missed out on something very special. Mark seen a book setting on a table and he asked if he could read it my Dad gave Mark the book. Mark just opened the book some where in the middle and read apart that said don't get discauged keep looking to God for your strenght. Mark just happen to open this book at this particular place. When Mark was done reading my Dad said lets all pray for Mark. Everyone of them said
a pray for Mark and thank God. O how I would loved to been there to see my hole family praying to God! To the God that saved my brother! To the God that loves each and every one of then. To the God that has shown himself to them though the miracle he has done in Mark. How wonderful it is to give God the Glory for the great things he has done!
