Whose goodness faileth never
I lack nothing if I am his
And he is mine forever."

    Blessings to you this Sunday, Sandra. Today would be mother's 83 birthday and the hymn you quoted above, The King of Love My Shepherd Is, was one of her favorites.
    Thank you for your prayers for John and me. He is improving each day.
    Have a peaceful evening, Mildred

  4. I'm on my 4th or 5th Sunday of honoring the sabbath, making sure I do no work or shopping, just enjoying nature and meditating more on God. Thank you so much for encouraging me through your blog and for praying for Greg.

    don't know if that'll work for you - Anthony Evans sang at our church party tonight and this song quite touched me - God IS with us
