Joy Came

Dearest Tim,
Joy came in the morning and in the afternoon!  Praise the Lord for friends!

Lois and I went to Mega Thrift and then she took me to K&W for lunch.  Afterwards, we went to Aldi before I took her home.  She invited me in but I had more phone calls and appointments to make and more paperwork to do.

Juanita called in the afternoon and we talked for quite awhile.  I always feel better after talking to her as she is so encouraging!  What a gift she has and is!  Love her more and more every day as a true friend and sister in Christ!  Thank You, Lord, for the gift of friends!  And I am most glad about our "friend that sticks closer than a brother," my friend the Lord Jesus Christ!  I don't know how people "do life" without Him!

Then Joy brought some boxes from work and I invited her to stay.  We talked and we cried together.  Everyone misses you so much!  But, the Lord will continue to strengthen us in the days to come!

I am so thankful today that, "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want..... for friendship!"  Psalm 23:1

After Joy left I started cleaning out the clothes from my closet that are too big now.  WOW!  My closet is almost bare!  I found several things at Mega Thrift today.  A skirt, a Sag Harbor blazer, a couple of sweater jackets and some tops and spent less than $15!  Thank You, Lord!

Here's a great quote for today:
Abandon yourself to His care and guidance, as a sheep in the care of a shepherd, and trust Him utterly.  ~ Hannah Whitall Smith
