Today's Reading

I was just reading and was reminded how every mountain has a valley. Several verses accompany this reading today and I wanted to share them with you.

Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Psalm 28:7

The reading reflected on the valleys whether there were many, few or will they be dark and dim. The questions asked were how will you react to them and how will you go through them?

There will be rocks, rivers, ravines and shadows. It made me think of what is waiting. The top of the mountain! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Think about the top of the mountain today and not the rocks and shadows.

Big hugs and lots of love to you this morning.

Phillipians 4:13

Nothing Much!

Good morning and happy Monday. David is doing okay and as I told someone "continues to tow the line." Thanks for your prayer and support.

Loomis, the yard looks great and thank you for that.

Have a great day!

Psalm 63:5-6 as found in the book the Shepherd looks at the 23 Psalm

My soul will feast and be satisfied, and I will sing glad songs of praise to you, As I lie in bed, I remember you; all night long I think of you.

Our day was long yesterday but a safe one. Dad went with us and we talked with some wonderful people. One in particular who had the same kind of cancer. Her spirit was as just as beautiful as David Hill's is. (I just noticed that I actually used the big "C" word) I talked about that with her and we have the same exact views on that too! We exchanged names and promised to put each other on prayer lists at our churchs. Again, I listened as everyone around us was praising God and thanking God for their church families. We do that every single day. Thank you again Santuck Baptist Church for EVERYTHING and Seman Baptist for the lunches on Tuesday. Also, I want to shout out to Mae Ruth Jones and all her helpers...y'all are making a difference and you are doing a wonderful ministry. May God bless you!

The news that we received was as good as it gets. The tumor hasn't grown. We took it, ran out the door with it, and we're praising him!

David and many others were so inspiring to me yesterday. Most of the people that we saw yesterday have not received good news in the last few months and some have been battling for years. Yet, everyone was smiling yesterday. I do mean everyone.

David continues to battle his Goliath with a smile and no complaints. My hero.
Emma has been amazing too and we are so proud of her.

The smiles I saw yesterday were on the faces of folks who could easily be bitter. Everyone has a lot to be thankful for and you should look for that and count your blessings everyday. Smile today.

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8

Wednesday saying....

Prayer is asking for rain. Faith is carrying an umbrella.

Friday

Please keep us in your prayers on Monday as it is a treatment day.

Thank you Cape County Cowboy Church and Prayer Posse for the prayer card that you sent us this week. You mean a lot to us! Even though we haven't met in person, we are brothers and sisters in Christ and I know that y'all are praying without ceasing!

It's official...Emma will be at Auburn this fall! Please keep her in your prayers as she begins this new chapter in her life.

Thanks again for the posts, it is so good to hear from you.

Hugs and love,
Joy

Tuesday thought from a book of sayings that was given to me

"The brook would lose its song if God removed the rocks."
