            Today is a better day and I rested well.  The pain and weariness is a little better but still rough at times.  Bonnie and I had our devotion and this Hymn doesn’t speak to me but for me!

Blessèd Savior, Thee I love, 

All my other joys above; 

All my hopes in Thee abide, 

Thou my Hope, and naught betide; 

Ever let my glory be, 

Only, only, only Thee.

Once again beside the cross, 

All my gain I count but loss; 

Earthly pleasures fade away, 

Clouds they are that hide my day; 

Hence, vain shadows! let me see 

Jesus, crucified for me.

 Blessèd Savior, Thine am I, 

Thine to live, and Thine to die; 

Height or depth, or creature power, 

Ne’er shall hide my Savior more; 

Ever shall my glory be, 

Only, only, only Thee.

Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You. – John 21:17

From a devotional by Robert J. Morgan, Near to the Heart of God: Meditations on 366 Best-Loved Hymns (p. 260). Baker Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

            Sent off cards to some friends and am trying to minister as I am able.  I pray God will make them a blessing.  Talk to Rev Lloyd Jones and made sure sending cards to those at First wouldn’t bother him.  He is so gracious!  I am glad that First is in such good care.  They are still part of my heart!

            Trying to continue to get stuff thrown away or put up still and especially since our new mattress come tomorrow.

            God is still blessing us and with all the storms, earthquakes, fires, wars and rumors of war we still feel safe in God’s heart and lap.  If all is taken away or lost, if even our lives are lost we know that is gain for us and we can still say blessed be the name of the Lord!
