But it was a true "verse of the day." My church family showered me with hugs and tears and made me so grateful that John and I were part of that "family of God." Then one of the kids in my Senior High Youth Group told me a "little voice" told her to come this morning--she has been "away" for a while--and she asked me to sit by her--which gave me such joy. At first I felt a big "oh dear" when I realized only my name would be on the communion card--but then I was gently reminded that John is having constant communion, and the thought made me smile!! Then, some kids from the Youth Group insisted on coming over to help clean my house--and they did a fantastic job! And then--the very best cause for rejoicing, John's daughter called and we talked--and she is coming to the service next Saturday. There is a long story about that, but I am very much "praising my savior all the day long" today--because he has given me such "blessed assurances" of His love--and John's--which, being gounded in God, never fails!
I was all day long feeling "uplifted", and I believe that has a lot to do with all the prayers and heart-felt messages that everybody here has offered up. So thank you--everyone--and God Bless!
