Psalm 63: 7 - 8

Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings.  My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

By the grace of God, I have been married to A. for 34 years today.  Where did those years go?  Looks like it is time for a blast from the past.  Here is a diary excerpt from 06-25-90.  We were in training for HFH international in Americus, Georgia.  We would be shortly returning to ND for some family matters.

Yawn!  Been to daily devotions.  I thought I was awake.  Cool outside this morning.  Construction today.  Soil samples.

The devotion was if we are faithful in practicing the little things, the impossible becomes possible.

I, for one, am so sometimes overwhelmed by little things.

I need to invite a couple over for dinner.  I need to wash clothes.  I need to write to my grandma.  I forgot one of my hearing aides back in ND!  I do have my journal, my shoes and my hat!  Is my head screwed on???

I'm getting excited about our trip to ND on Thursday.  The drive back will seem unreal.  Hope it goes fast.

Hope we arrive looking not-too-wrinkled.  Maybe even sharp?  Alan will look great for the wedding.  I love him in a suit!

Happy Birthday A.!  I sure wish I knew how to make it special for you.  Shut up and quit complaining, I guess.  I hope he knows I love him.

I love the people in our class.  Individually and together.

Boy, what I would give to see what Alan writes today in his journal!

Abba,

I glimpsed past journal entries while trying to find where I left off.  How real my faith in You is, when I see it on paper.

You are alive and real.  What more do I need?  What could I fear?

Today's daily group devotion was great, a potpourri:  I am stained by the blood of Jesus.  Forever.  Everyday.  Through and through.  It is well with my soul.  Amen
