This morning my sister got all ready and we both went to church. When we have gone out until this point, we have used her wheelchair so she doesn’t have to slowly hop her way around on crutches or the walker. But today we brought along her walker which seems to be the easiest device for her to maneuver. Everyone was very patient and helpful – opening doors, finding us a good place to sit, and even having Communion brought to her so she didn’t have to try to make her way to the front of the church. I loved being able to share the worship time with her. The other day, we were talking about how we – people – are always searching for that “thing” that fills us, makes us joyful and complete. I have noticed that for the most part, when we discover that we can have a relationship with Jesus Christ – God in the flesh – our searching comes to an end. When the priest was giving his homily, he mentioned how at one point Jesus asked his apostles if they were going to leave Him. They responded that there was nowhere else to go. They knew that He was the one to lead them to eternal peace and joy. So true, I thought. We can try all kinds of “things” to fill the void in our hearts – I have tried as well – but only God can provide the deep comfort and love that we crave. My sister did her best at standing and sitting at the appropriate times. By the time we got home, though, she was pretty exhausted and ready to rest. However, the physical therapist came over before she had a chance to. She brought my sister a different kind of walker that she can use to carry things around with. Come dinner time, my sister and I cooked together and she even set the table. She is doing such a great job. Later we talked to my parents. My brother is staying with them while I am with my sister. They had a good day as well. They all went to church early and then out to breakfast. In the afternoon, my mom and my brother went to a concert. They were all doing very well. I was so glad to hear that.

I Found God today in continued improvements and a good day all around.
