When Laurel was first hospitalized, many of you reached out with Bible verses and with songs that spoke to your hearts. I didn’t say so at the time, but now I do: Thank you for that. I didn’t have time then to read them all or listen to the songs, but the Lord has granted me periods of reflection and quiet to follow through and do it since those first few difficult days. Some of the songs were new to me, and others were familiar. Some have stuck with me and run around in my head all day long. 🙂 I wake up with lyrics and tunes, or fall asleep to them, as God ministers to me through music. Thank you. To God be the glory!
M & C contacted me last evening on Messenger Kids to let me know they had another wicked fun day with cousins and with Grandpa Robert Boettger. They had tacos for supper, they happily reported.
You’ve gotten so used to hearing from me so often that the sudden drop-off may seem strange, but there are two reasons for the lack of information. First, I’m back at work, so I have less time to spend on Facebook. Second, Laurel had a quiet night and there isn’t much to tell you.
We continue to thank you for your prayers and encouragements. Keep praying! “Who is like the Lord our God?”
Psalm 113 says:
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, you his servants;
praise the name of the Lord.
2 Let the name of the Lord be praised,
both now and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
the One who sits enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8 he seats them with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the childless woman in her home
as a happy mother of children.
Praise the Lord.
