Did you ever play that old 1938 piano tune \u201cHeart and Soul\u201d? Two people, one piano, laughing their way through a duet. Simple. Joyful. In sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It turns out, that\u2019s how hearts are meant to work, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s still Heart Month — and I\u2019m loving one heart in particular — my dear husband\u2019s. He\u2019s had a front-row lesson in just how powerful a heart can be. Apparently, those beats are meant to stay in rhythm, and when they don\u2019t, everyone pays attention. Beeps grow louder. Prayers get shorter. Trust stops being theoretical and becomes very real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a heart slips off rhythm, it goes a little off-hinged. That\u2019s when you remember — quickly — that God is the Great Physician. And that He also provides skilled, compassionate hands in doctors who help heal and restore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuesday\u2019s pacemaker implantation for Carl was a complete success. Our cardiac electrophysiologist — the heart\u2019s electrical expert — was a delight. We met him by phone first, and yes-sir-ee, I did my homework. Credentials checked. Experience confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I saw a short video where he said his goal was to bring hope — to relieve fear and walk with people through suffering. He explained that while we can\u2019t always stop suffering, we never have to suffer alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I smiled. If I didn\u2019t know better, I\u2019d say he sounded a lot like our Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God often works that way — through steady hands, thoughtful minds, and modern technology that keeps hearts in rhythm. Through moments that remind us love isn\u2019t just a feeling — it\u2019s a faithful Presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there\u2019s another heart that matters just as much — the spiritual one. The heart that trusts when circumstances don\u2019t make sense. The heart that finds peace in recovery rooms and courage when fear knocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God doesn\u2019t just fix hearts — He guards them — \u201cAbove all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.\u201d (Proverbs 4:23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here we are, in Love Month and Heart Month — celebrating a new and improved pace. Stronger rhythm. Steadier steps. And deep gratitude for a God who heals, restores, and walks with us through every beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turns out, matters of the heart are in very good hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord, steady our hearts, calm our fears, and help us trust You with every beat. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
