My Father Is All

Hartline Bus

I started my morning out thinking of what I had to do with some anxiety present. I know that I can't let those feelings take over my mind. Whether it's due to my thyroid or not, is sometimes questionable to me. You know what I'm talking about it. It's the devil trying to take my joy and happiness away from me. He walks this earth with the intent to stir up trouble in your life and to misguide you away from the Lord.  I rebuked him with what he was trying to do to with me. I got myself together to proceed to the pharmacy for my medication.


This is a challenge for me with my hyperthyroid and I tend to sweat like a running faucet. I don't like it at all, it makes me feel disgusting. I feel embarrassed as I don't want anyone to see me sweating. I push on regardless of what is going to happen along the way. I start walking to catch my bus for my trip to the pharmacy, when I realize I forgot to bring my umbrella and my bus schedule. "Oh well, God be with me. I'm going to make it I know it". So I waited in the heat  for my bus, but while I was waiting, I felt a cool breeze blowing on me. I was so grateful for the breeze I forgot about the other things on my mind.


After I picked up my medication, it only took a short time for me, to get everything taken care of. I went back to the bus stop to wait for my bus. I was busy reading the paper, when I looked up there was a lady standing behind a tree. I had been looking up and down the street the whole time I was sitting on the bench. So where did she come from, out of nowhere she just appeared. She finally walked over to me and asked about the bus schedule. Her accent was thick so I started to talk slow to her. Why do we do that when we talk to someone with an accent?


Anyway, I told her the bus should be arriving any minute now. She seemed worried about what time the bus would get to the stop. I started to talk with her and she told me how far she lived from where we were. We began to talk about the bus service as we boarded the bus. The driver tried to help us with our questions we were having. Although she didn't help much with her "I don't know."  "Geez thanks for your help bus lady". I was thinking that but I didn't say it.  The lady who got on the bus with me changed the subject. "We are poor but it doesn't matter because God is soon coming. It don't matter if your poor with God."


There was another lady across from me and she began to talk about the Lord too. Pretty soon we were all taking about how much we love the Lord for all he does. The lady across from me said "God is our strength our everything". God clearly had a message for me this morning.. Although I didn't know it when I started out on my journey. I soon found out what that message was. Praise the LORD from whom all blessings flow. Amen
