Thank You God...

...for Marilyn coming through surgery...for Debbie looking so much better...for Frederick talking a wee bit today...for a long overdue visit with Clara... for Frieda, who can't seem to understand much of anything anymore, but whom You hold in Your hands... for invitations from Charlie's friends to speak on my favorite topic... for the faithful who gather on Wednesday evenings in the heat of summer to ponder the story of Joseph and what it gives us of our Lord... for the gift of compline and the peace its words bring... For hugs and greetings from the family of God... for Sandy, Darcy, and Candy, even when they are being utterly obnoxious because they were right (again)... for Bonnie and all who give so much to make our daycare/preschool a witness to the love of Christ... for a glass of wine at the end of the day... for children safe at home... for another day of Your presence, Your unfailing love in Jesus Christ!
