The Lord is in control

We are comforted knowing the Lord is in charge of all that is going on these days.  Margie had trouble sleeping because of this plus some back pains. As the saying goes, If it's not one thing, it's another. Yesterday Margie had another eye appointment with the doctor.  It rained cats and dogs throughout the day around here.  I purchased some special blocks to make another step into our garage from the family room.  Now Margie can climb those much better.  Her inoperable knees make the steps very difficult.  Thanks for praying.  It is a beautiful sunshine day right now in Ferndale.

Not so good

Margie did not have such a good night.  But she finally got to sleep and this morning we have to take her to the eye doctor.  I will shop while in town.  This week promises to be quite busy, but which week is not busy? That's the way it goes.  Thanks for praying. 

Could have been better

Last night could have been better but I guess when one ages and has so much on the schedule, sometimes a restless night is the result. That's what happened last night. Hopefully we will get everything done we are supposed to and things will get back to normal.  We certainly hope so.  Our grandson left last night around 5:30 or so.  He will probably be back sooner to work on the rental home in town. Today promises to be a beautiful one with the sun already shining brightly.  We never stop thanking you for your prayer support. It means much to us. 

Sickness

What a surprise we got yesterday morning when our grandson told us that his dad, our son,left early in the morning for home.  He got really sick during the night and not wanting to expose us to whatever he had, left for home.  We were so sorry for him. Later he called to say he was some better, thankfully.  We made stuffed bell peppers for lunch and Margie added all the other goodies and Nathan joined us for the feast.  We continued doing research for material for our Brazil book.  Margie has a major part in this as she reviews our journals, etc., for information.  We plan on attending church this morning.  I wonder how many set their clocks back.  Thanks for praying. 

Delighted

We were delighted with the good turn out to the Bible class yesterday.  Again all chairs were taken. We had three new members. Our son and grandson also arrived yesterday so we have a nice time when they are here.  Of course they are busy making necessary repairs and improvements on their rental home here so keep plenty busy with that.   Thanks for your prayers. LATER. OUR SON, WE JUST LEARNED, FROM OUIR GRANDSON, LEFT HERE EARLY THIS MORNING FOR HIS HOME. HE GOT SICK DURING THE NIGHT AND DIDN'T WANT TO EXPOSE US TO WHATEVER HE MAY HAVE. WE ARE SORRY AND KNOW YOU WILL PRAY ALSO FOR HIM. THANKS.

Preparation

. I spent some more time preparing for the Bible class at the Senior Activity Center in Ferndale.  Another person requested a study sheet and she plans on being there today.  Another called in ill, so will only make it next week.  We are grateful for those who attend. Margie had her hair done yesterday.  I installed another printer to assist my printing jobs in the Bible class.  It works on WI-FI so no cords strung across the desk to the computer.  I like it. We appreciate your prayer support.  

Memories

What special memories we enjoyed yesterday with missionaries Dick & Mavis Buck (Brazil).  Margie also had her physical therapy session in Lynden.  It was a busy day and finished by her going to the sleep clinic in Bellingham last night to be fitted with a C-PAP device. I picked her up at 6:30 this morning.  So the days come and go.  Yesterday was also our daughter Joy's birthday. She would have been 53.  What a glorious release was hers when she left us July 27.  Today we will keep busy also, and it surely is better than the other alternative. Thanks so much for praying.
