Heavenly Comfort
Feeling God’s Heavenly Comfort
If I had to pick one, I would have to say that my absolute favorite Christmas gift this past year was a Minky.
What’s a Minky?
I’m glad you asked.
It’s the most wonderful blanket ever created – in my humble opinion.
Think of a comforting, plush, weighted blanket that’s easy to cuddle up in and get lost in its warm embrace.
The material is the most luxurious I’ve ever felt – kind of like . . . well, mink.
By the way, it’s not real mink (not even close).
Just like Linus – the beloved character in the Charlie Brown Christmas specials, I would walk around with this blanket all the time if I could, except that it’s too heavy and that would be kinda weird. Lol.
This gift couldn’t have come at a better time.
Having gone through two different medical procedures several days ago, I still remember my thoughts as I was just starting to go under the anesthesia.
I would rather be any place but here
I can’t wait to go home and get under my favorite blanket
Most importantly, the following verse kept running over and over in my mind, as I slipped into a sleep-like state . . .
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9, (NASB).
“My grace is sufficient . . . “
God’s Heavenly Comfort is There When You ask
Not once did I feel alone in that procedure room.
I felt the presence of Jesus watching over me.
In fact, I felt comforted enough that I was able to joke around with the nurses.
You know what I’m looking forward to?
That glorious day when we will experience God’s heavenly comfort (the best of all) and divine love face-to-face.
Nothing will ever come close to the unimaginable joy we will feel when we are reunited with our Savior.
