Keep us From Falling

“…BY HIS POWER WE ARE KEPT FROM FALLING..” (JUDE 24) - “Do the log roll” says the nurse as I learn how to get out of bed following abdominal surgery. I am sore, I am afraid, I am weak and tubes are coming our of several places in my body. I have no choice but to have someone help me stay on my feet and not topple over. Sometimes it is the nurse and some times it is one of my children. All this goes to say that for someone who has worked hard to be in charge, being helped is……but I am grateful to have the good sense to know I am never really in charge and I am grateful for all the people who have been here to help me and keep me from falling. After all the power of God that keeps us from falling often comes in the person of someone who cares and loves enough to be there to help.
