We have had a mixed day; starting slowly this morning we just chilled out in our room watching TV and listening to a sermon by Matt Chandler, as Glen felt rough and had not slept well. We then headed out to Lakeland for lunch and a walk round the store, it was nice to just take things slowly and not to rush. Next we walked down to lake Winder mere and had an ice-cream, before heading to the spa. Heading back to our hotel, Glen started to feel tired and his back began to hurt. We went out for a quick tea, which Glen had to leave early as his back hurt too much. He has had a bath and is now sleeping (hopefully this will last), therefore I'm writing the blog as a change.
I've really been stuck with how much we live for earthly gain rather than heavenly. We need to look towards heaven and realise our mortality. As in Philippians 3 v20 Paul reminds us that 'For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.' Our real home is in heaven.
Thank you for all your prayers, we have really felt God's peace and continue to trust in Him.
Verse for today: Philippians 3
Prayer for today: Please pray for a good night's sleep and for Glen to feel stronger. Pray that we will continue to know and feel God's peace at this time. Pray that God will heal Glen from this cancer, restoring his body to full health. Pray for our families that they would also know and feel God's peace too.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness in keeping Glen's blog updated, Anne. Being in a very similar situation myself, I know the anxiety and pain that you are suffering with your ailing husband. Pray God that Glen has slept well overnight and feels well enough for you to enjoy the remainder of your much-needed break away together. Stephen and I join you both in your prayers for Glen's cancer to be cured fully. Deepest love, respect and thanks to you both and all your families and friends for bringing us to God. Teresa xxx
