Ah, summer. Lots of thunderstorms lately. The garden drank in water last night. The sky turned yellow in the late evening, and then the clouds opened and rain poured down. The boys watched basketball inside and I could see flashes from the screen on the back porch boards while I stretched out in the porch swing and listened to the rain and talked to Erin and drank in peace and rest and no hurry.
This morning was cool, the edge off the humidity. I got back to walking and push-ups and my regular exercise routine...at least for two days til we get on that bus! Every morning is a fresh beginning and this morning felt very fresh and new...
I give thanks for...
1001. safe travel for Coty and Amy and the Memphis team to Hyderabad
1002. travel glitches worked out for the team from Memphis
1003. expected reunion with our Bapatla friends coming for Coty
1004. people here who offer to help if needed
Last night, some of our church family gathered to pray. I am so thankful for...
1005. corporate prayer
1006. sweet fellowship
1007. a God who hears
This morning, after my walk, I had to take a sick Joel to the doctor. He has a touch of pneumonia and is on heavy duty meds to, we hope, get him feeling better before the weekend and soccer games. I am thankful for...
1008. the health care readily available to us
1009. a good doctor who is patient, listens well, discusses options, moves aggressively when needed
1010. the body's defenses (praying they kick in in high gear now for Joel)
1011. a God who heals
Thomas called this afternoon from camp and he, too, is sick. I may need to head over to camp tomorrow to bring him home for a few days. Thank you, Father, for...
1012. being here now
1013. medical tests
1014. care for T near camp
1015. the option of coming home if he needs to
In everything, give thanks. In the freshness and glory of a new day, in the feeling of health and fitness that the morning walk brings, but also in the trial of sickness and the blessings of care and healing.
Dear reading friends - I'd sure appreciate your prayers for my two boys. As I write, asking this, I give thanks for...
1016. You

Off again! Beautiful wedding. My sister sent me a link to Guion and Abbeys. Hope it all goes well and the team wins! The Lord bless you all and keep you all safe in travel and soccer.
