I Cried My Last Tear Yesterday
My brother Charlie was taken to the hospital yesterday with what they are calling a “heart event” He is undergoing an arteriogram as I write this. Charlie had heart bypass surgery almost 6 years ago. An RN told us yesterday that those veins they take out of your leg are not good but for a few years at most. So we wait to hear the outcome and learn what comes next.
I wrote about Charlie’s return to the Lord some time back. That is especially comforting as we are now faced with a “heart event”. I don’t know what folks do who don’t know the Lord. How do they handle “events” in their lives? I am not where I want to be in my walk with the Father, but I cherish the trust I have in Him to do what is right in every situation and circumstance. I don’t fret outcomes like I used to. I know Abba is in complete control and that is good.
I ran across the lyrics of a song that are so powerful along this line and I want to share it with you.
I had enough heartache and enough headaches
I've had so many ups and downs
Don't know how much more I can take
See I decided that I CRIED MY LAST TEAR YESTERDAY
"Cause stressing don't make it better
Don't make it better, no way
See I decided that I CRIED MY LAST TEAR YESTERDAY Yesterday,
I decided to put my trust in You
Yesterday, I realized that You will bring me through
There ain't nothing to hard for my God, no
Any problems that I have
He's greater than them all, so
I decided that I CRIED MY LAST TEAR YESTERDAY.
P.S. I just learned that this song is performed by Mary Mary...Not a double type, that is the name of the performer/performers.
Sorry to hear about Charlie\\\'s heart \\\"event.\\\" I\\\'ll pray for him. Tell him we said \\\"hello.\\\"

I appreciate your attitude toward God's care of Charile. One thing is sure, we can completely trust the ones we love to our graceous Father. He loves them more than we do and infinately knows what is best for them, and for us. Unlike us, He sees the parade that is our life on earth from the beginning to the end and all in between at once. Thus He alone can appoint our days and the events of them with absolute justice and righteousness.
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" And make no mistake about it, God is for us!
May God the Holy Spirit comfort you and give you His peace.
Grace and Peace,
Royce Ogle
