Thursday Morning

Hello!

Sorry, there was not something on for you the first thing this morning, but yesterday was rather busy.

Bottom line – God is good – all the time, all the time – God is good – and things are going well.
Marty had a fair day yesterday, but then probably did a little more than she should have. Her shoulder is improved. The pain is not completely gone, but it is not so bad that she cannot use her arm or that she has to sit in the chair or on the bed all the time. That is indeed a good thing – in some ways – but means that it is going to be harder to keep her from doing to much – however I do believe her body is going to do that. She is feeling tired, but that is to be expected at this point because her numbers should be going down. We have to go to the hospital in a little while to see exactly what they are.

Last night, Marty did go to the session meeting at church, the first one since July, and though she arrived hurting and tired, it really seemed to go well. I do believe that she really enjoyed taking her part and being able to fulfill her responsibility. Praise the Lord! Of course, after the meeting we all went out to dinner together and that was very nice. Merry Christmas – what a joy to celebrate the love of God in that way: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isa. 9:6)
This year we are indeed grateful for that Wonderful Counselor, that Prince of Peace that has been so present with us as we have traveled the path of challenge and new adventures on which God has used us to glorify Him. Praise the Lord for His presence and guidance – what an awesome God.

Need to go will try to get another update on tonight.

Be positive – be blessed – know God’s presence with you this day.

Marty and Jack
