The Lord is risen

The Lord is risen.
He is risen indeed.
Hallelujah.

With these greetings we met the family members as they got up this morning. After the early church service, we enjoyed a brunch together and then bit by bit seven of them left for home. Karin and Keith and family will leave later this evening, and Jeremy is going with them, since he will ride to a friend's home near Karin's law school tomorrow morning. From there, his friend and he will take the train to Chicago, where they are students at Moody Bible Institute. That leaves Sue, who leaves tomorrow, and Lisa, who leaves Tuesday--which is when we also leave. It's been delightful to be together, and we feel so blessed to have met our new great granddaughter and make friends again with Joshua, our 2-year-old great grandson. Life is so precious, and we thank God for each day.

This afternoon we had the promised discussion about possible funeral plans with our daughters, and got their blessing for the thoughts we have. We're cool with the possibility that God might give both of us many more years, but at least we'll get some options tied down anyway.

I'm feeling well, and certainly praying for a favorable CA 125 test on Wednesday.

Blessings,
Carol
