It took a while to post January. We had some special times with all of our family during Christmas, so January is always a let down...children and grandchildren gone, back to routines, church meetings, kids back in school, cold, dark days. There was the worry about Sheila's new pain, which turned out to be gall stones, so her gall bladder was removed, and all went well. Followed by the follow-up, then the Kell-factor in her blood system, which had to be monitored once again, like her last two pregnancies. A dear friend passed away after a year-long battle with lung cancer. I played organ and accompanied a violin solo and the granchildren's song at the funeral last week. Finally, news that my young niece, Julie, had a serious reaction to a prescribed drug that landed her in the hosptial for treatment, was another worry.
Highs and lows, but always the comfort and peace that comes from knowing God lives and knows and loves us all. Lots of prayers being offered this month. He also knows how much we need grandchildren! What a joy they bring in our lives every day!
