Lost Cause

I read something interesting in my daily teachers' devotion this morning:
"Do you find yourself feeling as if you're fighting for a lost cause? It can certainly feel that way, but I encourage you to keep fighting. Some would say that Jesus fought a losing battle. Why sacrifice Himself for people who either didn't care or didn't believe and who would continue to sin even after He died a horrible death because of that sin? Because, unlike a doctor, His hands can't be pried away from a heart, no matter how faint the life signs."

Latest in the Coakley/Jimison families: Monday I was tested for gestational diabetes and found out yesterday that I do have it, so I have to see a dietician next week. BOO!! Also on Monday was my mother-in-law's knee replacement surgery. She came home yesterday and seems to be doing well. On Wednesday we found out a family member had a miscarriage. And, my doctor's son passed away this week. My dad may have diabetes as well, but he for sure has high blood pressure. So, a lot of sickness happening in the families. Keep us all in your prayers!

Lord, lay your healing hand over my family and Joe's family. Be with us as we serve you and love others. Keep everyone safe and happy this weekend. Amen.
