We are so blessed to have author Susan Mead share her heart here at Women at the Well.

A friend shared with me recently that God’s word, the Bible, is our Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. I laughed out loud at the simplicity of this acronym for the Bible. Have you ever seen this one before? I had not.

The next season for me  will be filled with human pain and sorrow as dad (and the rest of our family!) deals with his terminal cancer.  At 91 years old, Dad doesn’t want to be healed. Why? He’s ready to “go home” to the Lord.

Based on that, I’m praying dad is pain free.  I’m also turning to seek God’s word, as that is where solace, comfort and joy are found. Do you find that’s true for you too and your faith is strengthened by His Word?
