8 p.m…
Good evening!!
Sometimes our experience is more of a choice than a feeling…
If yesterday was a GREAT day for Irene physically, and it was, we are choosing today to say that “…this is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it…” (Psalm 118:24)
In other words, it is a CHOICE to say that it is a good day. Even when we don’t FEEL like it is, we will DECIDE to rejoice and be glad in it because Irene has physically struggled today. Her energy level is low and she feels very nauseated and uncomfortable…thank you for your continued care and concern for her welfare.
We’re so grateful that Dave and Laura Gschwend brought us dinner this evening. In fact, it was more than dinner; it is a feast and enough food for days!! 
The Gschwend’s also graced Irene with a “hosanna!music” CD featuring Paul Wilbur. Laura is a cancer survivor and called this her “chemo CD” that “took me through many hard times—…” I am certain that Irene will enjoy it in the days to come!
We do hope that tomorrow brings us more emotional connection to the verse above, because, hopefully, Irene will be FEELING better!!
In the meantime, sometimes our life experience is a choice, so we choose today to say that “this is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Caminando con Fé
Dave
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and kind thoughts, which I know is making a difference for me. It is so true that God is faithful and loving to His children. Tonight we met a friend who was a teacher with Tom at McLane, and he said something that really made me think and sort of builds on what you wrote about rejoicing and appreciating each day.
When we inquired about his health (as he too has health issues–but he is a survivor!), he said–“There are good and bad days, but living each day is truly a Victory.” We pray that Irene has many more good days than bad days, and that she has many days of victories and moments to rejoice. Love always…
