Sunday evening

Blessing and greetings to all:

We certainly hope that you have had a good day, been close to the Lord, felt God’s presence and grace, and had good and meaningful fellowship with others.

For us it has been an awesome day. Marty sang in the choir (a really great anthem) and we had a great service with the Associate Ex. Presbyter bringing the message. Then we had a lunch at the church that was great food and fellowship. And then the sanctuary and building were decorated for Advent and Christmas. There were about 50 people involved at the lunch and decorating. A good job was done by all, and everything looks great. Thank you each one and thank you Lord!

Marty got through all of the above pretty well. I told her this morning that she should not help with the lunch or decorating. Do you think it did any good? Of course not, she did both. Marty just corrected me to say that she did not help with lunch; she only helped in the kitchen to clean up afterwards. So she has had two very busy days and is rather tired. The numbers were pretty good today: WBC was up to 14:2; the platelets were up to 78; and the hemoglobin was down to 8.1. The last one is real close as mentioned last night, to 8 which is the time for blood. So we will see if we get a call from Doc’s office or not tomorrow. The problems that Marty is having right now are those that she has had almost since the beginning: tiredness, shins hurting, and ankles filled with fluid as well as the left one still healing from the fall. She is one awesome lady.

Well, I am going to keep it short tonight, but do want to continue to thank all of you for your support and prayers. It means so much to know that people love and care and remember and pray for us, thank you and praise the Lord. Marty has received almost 250 cards that are hanging on the door in the family room and on the bed room door. It is so neat to look at those cards and think about the love, concern, and prayers that are attached to them. It is indeed a help especially when it is a long haul. Thank You Lord for this support!

We hope you have a great night, and that tomorrow is a day full of love as you recognize the presence of God in your life and glorify Him.

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
