Drawing closer to THE day

As the day of my hubby's surgery draws near (3 days), I try to relax and remember Who is in control. I have a power that is above all comprehension who is guiding the hands of the doctors in the surgery and the team before and after the procedure. No matter what happens, we can't lose. Knowing that Christ's blood atones for our sin on the cross and that as we have accepted that gift, offered free of charge, we have already obtained the goal of heaven. Death holds no sting as it's the end of this life of suffering, but is the beginning of a new life (and I might add a new body that I look forward to) for eternity with our Lord and Saviour. Wow, the awesomeness of it sometimes overwelms me when I try to comprehend it all. Now, don't get me wrong, I want my hubby to stay around quite a while (or else why do this surgery?), but I also know that he's in good hands all along the path of the next few days. I'll blog as we go between the Christmas cards that are late and the calling of important folks in our lives to let them know how we are. We appreciate them all!
