Bundles Complete

Thanks to God’s help, we made it to Indiana and then Michigan in good spirits (though just about as tired as a person can be), went to the wedding, where I had the huge privilege of reading the Bible selection, spent many hours with precious relatives and friends (not always 100% awake), and then successfully returned home yesterday. Thank you so much for your effective prayers.

I do plan to write a longer report later, but this morning I have my first meeting with my Hospice doctor, and I feel I need to build my strength for that. So for now, please simply allow me to share a little of Ephesians, The Message, which I read at the wedding:

“Take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you.

“Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry.—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the devil that kind of foothold in your life.

“Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.

“Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.”

Good words to live by!

Love,
Carol
