Yesterday

Yesterday was an ordinary day.

We didnt go to the hospital or have any doctors visits. There was no testing, no blood work, no results to wait for. We just stayed at home, had time to sit in the sun. Judy felt a lot better, and her cold is well behind her now.

We went shopping for goceries together, even though each morning we see manna spread out for us. I even talked Judy into a cup of coffee at Panera Bread. She beat me in another game of W.E.L.D.E.R. I had admitted that I took it easy on her (just once) so now she is out to prove a point.

It was an ordinary day. As we prayed together at the end of the day I said to the Lord that we often say 'thank you for this day'. How much more so now Lord when you have shown us to treasure each moment with renewed awareness.

I'm not saying we won't have more days like yesterday we do expect to, but treasure them, each of you, as the blessing from the Lord that they are.

People have been asking how they can help - apart from the heavenly food (and the pristine house that 2 angels cleaned for us last night). All that is much appreciated, as are your cards, notes, calls, and prayers. To those who live nearby (or who have a spare 1,000,000 frequent flier points) - feel free to visit, for me any excuse for a cup of coffee is well received.

  1. Henry, Selah, and I are planning a trip to NY/ CT over the Christmas holidays and would LOVE to see you all! We'll be in the area from around the 19th to the 28th or so... PS - Henry and I LOVE coffee. Selah will stick to her milk. :-)
