Marty's Struggle

Thursday Evening 9:15pm

Praise and thanks to our God of grace and love

Well here we are as promised earlier in the day and we continue to praise the Lord. Marty is just feeling fair tonight. We wonder if her body doesn't know what to do with all those white cells and platelets. Her head has still been hurting her this afternoon and evening and she has just seemed to feel restless and not good in ways that she cannot explain. She did not have a good nights sleep last night, awake 3 different times, so we are hoping for a good night tonight and that may help some of these issues.

We were blessed with the company of Vern, Bonnie and Glenn today. It was indeed great to see them and to receive the phone calls, and emails that followed the "GOOD NEWS" of the day.

We never know the total bottom line, or all of the details of God's plan, but it is proven again and again to us that God can do so many things that are so good with us and the things we consider to be adversities or negatives. With faith in God there are no negatives, because God is so gracious and loving. God wants good for all God's children, even for you and me as we are God's disciples and servants. May we truly make every effort with all aspects of our lives to be God's hands and feet and let God's light shine through us to all people we come in contact with. May we always glorify the Lord our God, and never take any situation for granted because God can make good use of all situations that we encounter in this life.

Need to go now so I can get out the front door before they lock it and I have to walk around the hospital from the ER.

Have a great day and God bless.

Marty and Jack
John 3:16

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776
