Monday evening

Hi!

Here we are back again giving thanks to God for a day of rest. Yes, believe it or not Marty has rested the entire day. She did not get up until afternoon and then her shoulder was hurting so bad that she got into her chair with the heat and spent the afternoon right there. I didn’t even have to get out the chains or the heavy robe to keep her down. Thank you Lord! Her ankles look improved today, her shins still hurt a lot to the touch, her back is about the same, and otherwise she seemed pretty good. Praise the Lord!

One week from today will be the blood drive at Calvary Presbyterian Church in Logansport. If you would like to give in honor of Marty, we would sure appreciate it, please call Calvary Church Office (574.753.0505) tomorrow Tuesday, or call our Church office in the AM (765.472.2962) to make an appointment. To date Marty has been given 16 units of whole blood and 120 units of platelets. It is so nice to know that blood is available when she needs it. Thank you Lord and everyone who is able to give blood! Believe us, it is a very important ministry. We certainly want to thank Burt who has chaired the setting up of this blood drive for Marty and everyone who has helped him. What a blessing! We do appreciate it and thank you all. Not only do we appreciate having the blood there when Marty needs it, but we know first hand what that means to others as well. So to be providing blood in Marty’s honor is certainly a very meaningful event for us. Thank you all so much.

Marty’s calendar scripture for today is Revelation 22:17: “Whoever is thirsty let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.” As we prepare to celebrate the FREE GIFT that God has given to us, let us not forget that indeed we already have the gift and are celebrating when Jesus came to earth. In other words, let us not leave God out of our preparations for Christmas or our Christmas celebration. When you recognize the importance and meaning of the gift of each new day you give praise and thanks to God for His plan and His goodness. Praise and thanks be to God!

If you read this tonight – have a good night and tomorrow be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

If you read this tomorrow – have a good day and be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, also.

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
