If Only I Had a Pair of Ruby Slippers

October 30, 2008 in Dave's Musings with 13 Comments

It’s nearing 3 AM EST. I should be about 3 hours from DC. Instead, I sit…tiredly awaiting my flight home from LAX. One thought has consumed my mind for the past 3 hours, when I found out that my flight would be delayed by at least an hour and a half: “Lauren is going to be SO disappointed if I don’t make it home for her singing at school tomorrow morning. I really hope and pray that I make it. I really hope they don’t cancel my flight.”

What are you hoping for right now?

    I am hoping you made it. I am also hoping that whatever God’s plan for Carmen and your family is, God will be glorified. I am also hoping that our situation with Bob’s mother’s health gets resolved. She’s 90 years old and Bob has some major decisions to make about her care. Please pray!

    I am hoping that something I heard about yesterday is really true. A couple that has tried for 10 years to become pregnant got a positive pregnancy test yesterday. I am not hoping, I am praying that it is true and that all will go well.

    Hooooooray!!!! Dave landed and on time for Lauren. That was what I was hoping for. I’m also hoping to see miracle after miracle after miracle. Can’t get enough of them…..

    I am hoping to see my children and grandchildren for Thanksgiving. That will be a joy and blessing for me!!

    And – I believe we are seeing a miracle everyday Carmen is still alive and not suffering!

    And – I am hoping that God will do a miracle and reverse Wes’ kidney failure!

    And – - I could go on and on with my hopes but my greatest hope is that I will remember, with gratitude, that every single day of life (for each and every one of us) is a gift!!
