2 Cor. 4 16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The Lord's Care

Here I am using the word "care" again but it is just so real in our lives and it is worth sharing.
To my surprise John was up and walking today when I got to the hospital.
Doesn’t  matter what you have been through movement is important so they get
you out of bed.   John had more pain today and it was just a real tiring day for him.
 I had a lot of quiet time sitting in the hospital today.  This morning before I headed
to the hospital I was reading in my Bible out of Psalm 112 and verse 7 really hit me.
"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
As we go forward from here we can trust in the Lord to supply our needs even in the midst
of the unknown, we do not know what lies ahead.  We have had 33 years of a very blessed
marriage blessed with loving and caring children, blessed with 6 grandchildren (another on the way) the Lord has always provided for our needs and still daily provides. As we experience the Lord’s
daily provision for us it humbles us. I am realizing more and more how helpless we human beings are when someone we love is suffering, we cannot take the pain away.  We can cast all our cares on Him for He cares for us.
 I Peter 5:7 it says, "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." The comfort
of knowing that we can take all our cares to the Lord that is such a blessing.  These words are
for everyone, if you are suffering in one way or another you may also “cast your cares upon
him.” 
We thank you all for your prayers, emails, cards, visits (even though John may have been sleeping)
 and willingness to help in one way or another it is very much appreciated.
