CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC

Joshua 18:3

Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?

There are so many works we can do for God; He has called us to do these things,

Could it be you have neglected to work for Him; and to your heart sorry brings.

Right now serve the Lord in the way you can; this is what you always should do,

And you will be blessed because you obey, and honor Him in all you pursue.(RP)

Margie saw her doctor yesterday who told her that contusions are painful and have to work themselves out of the system.  This can take a long time. We already knew this but were at least encouraged by her prescription for a medication that will reduce the swelling and hopefully heal sooner.  In one way she did better last night.  She did not awaken as much, but to get out bed is AGONY.  Getting herself to the edge of the bed and in an upright position is the challenge. I have always helped her do this but when I touch her back, she screams with pain.  So she has to do all this on her own.  It is hard to see her in such pain. We are at least a little bit more optimistic that perhaps this pain level will be reduced.  Please pray with us that it will be so.  Thanks so much for praying.
