After weeks of procrastinating, I took Jennifer, my cat, to her foster home today. Her foster mom and Jennifer are a great match, and I couldn't have found a better placement. But now, it's too quiet; no one's screaming for food or a treat or a cuddle; no fur to bury my face in. This is sacrificial; I gave up some 'one' who has been my comfort and strength for 14 years. The tears are close to the surface, and I grieve for this loss in my life. "Whence cometh my help?" God says to me,"Fret not, dear Lynn or Jennifer. You are in my care. Trust in me...trust in me. And so I surrender to God's promise that I, and perhaps we, are in the palm of God's hand.
Today is Saturday, and I leave next Friday, the 23rd! Some of my lists will go uncompleted. I will forget things I wanted to take with me. Mary reminds Martha that there are stores in Durgapur; that perhaps I didn't really need to take that with me; and, believe it or not, there IS mail between Green Bay and Durgapur. All shall be well, all shall be well.
