This week has been a hard one but I have been thinking of things to be thankful for and how the Lord is leading and guiding us. Providing us with what we need. Being comforted by who the Lord is and what He is doing. Everything filtered through his fingers of love.....
Habakkuk 3: 17-19
Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the Labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls -
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deers feet,
And He will make me walk on high hills.

I rejoice in the God of my salvation!
Please pray for us as we make decisions about placement for Bonnie for sub acute care and rehab. For endurance as we are tired and having to make so many decisions. But most of all as my son prayed as he looked out the window at St. Francis last night for her eternal salvation. For her to know the Lord as her Savior instead of judge.
What a peace and hope knowing the Lord loves us and has His best for us.
We are so thankful for our family, friends, and family of Christ- your support is so incredibly needed and helping us.
Thank you
