Some of you who know me, know that my dad isn't well. Even though I was with my parents last week, all day Wednesday, I kept feeling this strong feeling that I needed to go to my mom and dad's. I told my husband when I got home from work, "I feel like I need to go to Mom and Dad's when I get off at noon tomorrow" - and of course, he said - "Go". So, I emailed mom, "I'm coming tomorrow. I will spend the night." I got her response and it was full of relief - "I'm go glad you are coming. I need you. We got the hospital bed and the full bed is in the front bedroom - my furniture is everywhere." Her distress was evident.
Then I realized that it was the Lord was impressing me to go - He knew the need and I didn't.
So, today I moved furniture around, packed and put things in storage. (I wish I had a before and after pic!) Now my mom has a neat, and somewhat orderly home again. She feels less overwhelmed and we got to spend the day together. I enjoyed it! I feel like I got to show a just little bit of gratitude for my "raising" - for all my parents have done for me in my life.
