I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the messages of encouragement and prayers for my brother-in-law. This Tuesday he had successful surgery to repair the severed Achilles heel tendon in his right foot. The recovery promises to be along one – up to a year. My sister and their two sons are rallying to take over his considerable tasks around the house, and driving him to work as well.
This passage from Isa. 61:3 expresses how reliance on God’s Word transforms our difficulties and challenges, as He gives us...
"the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair"
It brings to mind Galatians 6:2,
"Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ."
I thank God for the following family blessings:
- My mother is greatly improved and takes an interest in many more things than before.
- My nephew graduated from college on Friday with a major in Respiratory Therapy.
- A week ago, my niece, his 17-year old sister, took part in a special ceremony for Christian teenage girls, pledging to do their very best in upholding the best standards in all they do.
"They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor."
Isaiah 61:3
Isaiah 61:3
I am thankful also, that so many of you in the world of blogging believe in His gifts to your life.
