RELIEF

Romans 5:5 

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Christ is our hope and he disappoints none,

It will be that way until life's work is done.

God's love is what drew us to receive the gift,

And with life in Him the blessings are swift.

How thankful we are for the Holy Spirit given,

And our sins, which are many, He has forgiven.(RP)

Margie's doctor yesterday ordered an x-ray on her left shoulder. She (Margie) was concerned that a repeat of her right shoulder surgery may be a possibility. We are thankful the reading did not show that, and Margie was encourged to just keep the shoulder and arm moving. So even if it hurts, that's the best treatment for it. We were relieved with this report. Today Margie goes to her ophthamologist for another test which is routine. High winds are forecast (and blowing right now) and the temperature dipped lower during the night.  I guess I better get the snow shovel out of storage.  It may be needed for the driveway sooner than we expected. Trust your day is going well.  Thanks for praying.
