Helpless

There are times in your life that you are superman or superwoman. You leap tall buildings and solve all the worlds problems. Nothing stands in your way. You are on top!
Then there are those moments in your life that for everything you do, everything you are, you can do nothing to fix things. In some cases, its just the way life is. A child in a hospital can bring a man to his knees and make him cry. He'd give anything to fix his child and is totally helpless, all he can do is hold her (or him) and reassure the little one he isn't going anywhere... Mom's have gone mad watching their children do the craziest things as they let them "fly"... helpless as they have to watch from a sideline, a kitchen window, or anywhere as their youngster takes that step growing up... helpless knowing they can only do so much!
As we get older, other events happen reminding us quickly, we may have learned "everything", but we don't have all the answers and quickly those helpless feelings creep back in. Loved ones become ill, and while emotional support seems great, it doesn't ever feel like enough. You still feel helpless. You can do a million things... but at the end of the day there will always be certain things you just can't fix... leaving you feeling helpless!

I love you Grandma!


Thanks for teaching us to always have fun!

  1. It's extremely difficult to be far away and unable to physically be there for someone you love. I know that first hand. It then becomes a matter of putting all of your trust in the Lord and in those He has placed in your loved one's life. Having your favorite daughter in Florida, outside of the net of care that I can cast, has taught me to realize that all I do, I do by God's grace and that His Sovereignty is unshakable.
    Your Grandma knows how much you love her and she is so proud of the woman you are, of the strong marriage you have and of the terrific children you are rearing. And so am I!
