Friday 15th January - Thank You

I want to take this opportunity to use the blog to say thank you for the amazing blessing everyone reading this blog has been. We have really been wrapped in the love, strength, peace and blessing of both the Lord and the people around us. Anne and I have both said that the support and love of the people around us has been amazing and that people's generosity has really humbled us and showed us the tangible love of God.

God is an awesome, powerful, mighty God but He definitely uses the people here on earth to bless His people. We were reading Luke this morning and were really comforted by how Jesus rested in the will and love of God. He had compassion on the soilder who's ear was cut off and healed him in the midst of His own situation. Jesus really walked with His father and He prayed daily for God's will. What an attitude to adopt.

Thank you for all your prayers, texts, coffee trips, meals, gifts, cards and everything else that I am bound to forget. We are going out for a meal tonight with friends and we are going to be meeting and catching up with lots of people. Please pray that I will be an encouragement and blessing to these people.

Verse for the day: 1 Samuel 18 v 1 -3 (Johnathan had such a love for his friend David that his soul was bound to him)

Prayer for the day: Thank the Lord for the many blessings He has given to us in the midst of a difficult situation. That we would be an encouragement and blessing to our friends and family and that God would be glorified through our situation. That the treatment would not be too demanding on my body and that I would be able to go on our small group weekend away. To thank the Lord for the blessing of friends, family and Christian brothers and sisters.
