I kind of lost my weekend I spent pretty much all of it looking after my ailing Grandfather. He is... a great man that I have much respect for but he is also a tiresome man. I have grown up around male figures that do not usually wear their emotions on their sleeves. Their love language comes out in very subtle gestures and actions. I do not doubt my grandfather's interest in my life, he has supported nearly every missions trip I have traveled on, written me very open and honest letters about how proud he is of his grandson. He has taken a liking to who I am, whoever that may be. Sometimes the divide between friends and family takes a toll on me, but then I have to continue realizing that my family actually knows me better than I ever will; probably because they watched me grow up.
For this I am grateful. I have been blessed to have such a unique and loving set of family members that I have always been able to rely on.
I wonder how much it takes to change a stubborn old man's hardened heart. I guess one could argue that he is inclined to enjoy the world that he has lived in most of his life even though it is a world that has almost completely changed in the past 50 years. How strange to be stuck in time.
On the other hand, I would rather see God's power which knows no boundaries just break through.
Dear God, Can you please perform a miracle? I've seen it done in Redding, Haiti, Philippines, and elsewhere, but could you pull a big one for Santa Rosa? That'd be probably the greatest thing ever at this point.
Does being lonely mean you're not a bad person?
I miss you .
