It’s Thursday, so don’t forget to pray for Jo, her former students, and the people of PNG.
Anyone else?
Psalm 38
A psalm of David. A petition.
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down on me.
3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;
there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My wounds fester and are loathsome
because of my sinful folly.
6 I am bowed down and brought very low;
all day long I go about mourning.
7 My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.
9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
even the light has gone from my eyes.
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;
my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,
those who would harm me talk of my ruin;
all day long they scheme and lie.
13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,
like the mute, who cannot speak;
14 I have become like one who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 Lord, I wait for you;
you will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat
or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
17 For I am about to fall,
and my pain is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many have become my enemies without cause;
those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil
lodge accusations against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.
21 Lord, do not forsake me;
do not be far from me, my God.
22 Come quickly to help me,
my Lord and my Savior.
How’s Kevin & family doing?
Praying for Janice, for pre-surgery calm and clear-headedness, that all those last-minute details will be taken care of easily and quickly and that our Father in Heaven will provide an abundance of reassurance as only He can.

I tried to get an earlier mammogram appt but there are none to be had. Mine is mid October but the soreness and sometimes pain is still there a month later. They are putting me on a cancellation wait list. While the NP diagnosed an muscular/skeletal issue I’m thinking not. But she did detect something with the heart so that appt will be towards the end of Sept. Now I hope nothing else pops on the old body!

Turns out it is three adults, two horses, two dogs, one three year old, two two year olds. Two of the adults, two dogs and two horses just left for the afternoon, leaving one adult and three small folk. And so it goes.

They know your heart of love, Mumsee. It’s not fair. But there is great benefit for the young in your care. Rewards in heaven, rewards in heaven . . . your mantra.
