Encouragements

After going into hospital on Monday evening, Sue started her treatment around mid-day on Tuesday, so it was just after mid-day yesterday when she was allowed out again. This is now the normal timescale (around 24 hours) and is much better than the first couple of stays which were rather longer.

She says she feels better than she does sometimes after the treatment; she had some pain last night and this morning, but nowhere near as bad as last week - and this evening she and her mother (who lives with us) managed to cook the tea between them, which was good! She certainly looks and sounds reasonably bright - again, very much in contrast to last week, for which we are grateful to the Lord.

We also have the weekend to look forward to, as both daughters should be home for a couple of days - it will be nice to see them, and spend time with them. Life at home is very quiet when they are away at uni!

Truly we have so much to thank the Lord for - the mercies of each new day of grace, the blessing of home and friends and family, the privilege of being able to share the word of God together and listen to sermons together (many thanks to certain special friends in Georgia!) - and principally the blessings of salvation and redemption and forgiveness in and through Jesus Christ!

Psa 107:1/2 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
