"Look for me in the shadowy place you find yourself now. I want to shelter and nurture you under my wings, where you will find refuge. While you are relaxing, I will be your light-protecting, healing, and restoring you. When my work of restoration is finished, you can crawl out from under my wings; ready to rise again and continue your journey. My presence will go with you, illuminating the way before you-strengthening and encouraging you. Hope in me my child, for you will again praise me for the help of my presence."
-from Jesus Lives by Sarah Young

Beautiful Sunrise!

Wow, this morning we had such a gorgeous sunrise!  I felt a sense of a new beginning, like opening the first page of a bright and beautiful new book.  With a healing body, mind, and spirit we move forward, starting a new chapter. 
Thank you to my brother-in-law, Dennis, for the gift of this beautiful scripture he sent us yesterday.

"Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; But rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy."  1 Peter 4:12-13

God is good!

Also, thanks to all for your encouraging and supportive comments.  I can't figure out how to respond to each of you so I'll just say thanks.  It means so much.
