He Is here

Dear neighbors went with us to a Christmas concert last night. It was a gorgeous blend of singing, instruments, drama, dance, and reflection. The program was titled "Immanuel, God with us," which was also the theme song. It continues to sing in my heart.

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel!

That's a truth to sustain us at all times. Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis, which "lives in infamy" for us, as does the same-day 66th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Another thing about "God is with us": remembering that makes me want to live thoughtfully in order to please Him.

Our editorial meeting by phone yesterday went well. After that I spent several hours at the hospital with Fran. Her pain was so bad that she stayed another night in the hospital, and she hopes to return home today.

Have a blessed day.
