Remembering

So I have been a bit tired and haven't wanted to update. Sorry.

I entitled this post Remembering because we all need to remember to praise the Lord, every day, all day, for everything! I haven't told you that John has been working on reading the Bible through since he is kinda trapped here in the house. I think he felt like since I read through in '07, he wanted to have that on his "resume" too. Anyway, it sure isn't going to take him a year to do it as he is cooking along. I'm sure it helps that he has regularly read his Bible for many years where I had always been waaaay too sporadic. It is too easy to let the mundane take over our lives and forget what is important - deepening our relationship with Christ, praising him in all things and continuing his mission.

That said, here are some things I wanted to share before I update you on John...

I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7:17

The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my savior! Psalm 18:46

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 21:14

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:13-14

John continues to gain strength and (against my wishes) drove himself to check on a few jobs and to the office today. Praise the Lord that he felt like going! He has had his puny times and holds down his recliner much of the time but is napping less now. Drat that chemo will be upon us again next Thursday!

We are also thrilled that John's parents plan on making a trip east in their motorhome sometime Sept./Oct. We will be very happy to have them with us for as long as they are able. It has been some time since we have had their "home on wheels" in our driveway and it will be a welcome sight.

And so I close with this:

Psalm 33:20-21 We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

Love, Pam
