Someone
called into our office today and asked if it was the
library...............sorry, we were not, but it brought to mind the
time in 2008, shortly before mom quit driving becasue of her dementia,
that she showed up in the tag office and tried to return a book. My
boss at the time recognized mom, as I had not seen her come in or leave
the tag office. Carolyn went out and stopped mom, while Peggy
came and got me. I ended up driving mom home, and she told me that she
"got confused". There is a scripture in the Bible that says "our steps
are directed by the Lord". I realized today, 5 years later, how moms
steps that day were so definitely directed by the Lord. She could have
gone to any building, not been known, gotten very lost and or
disoriented., and I could have been looking for my mom, not knowing
where she had gone to. Mom always lived a life of faith and trust in
her heavenly Father, and He was true and faithful to her, too, most
assuredly in the days when she was no longer capable of making her own
decisions. He directed moms steps that day, to the courthouse, where he
put people who knew her and cared in her path, to keep her safe! I am
so thankful and grateful to our Heavenly Father who will direct our steps, but we have to be willing to let him. My steps are your, Lord.
