God is good. I talked with my “Covid” sister and that was a blessing. After her harrowing paramedic encounter, then Covid declaration at one hospital (no symptoms), she was transferred by ambulance (over an hour away in a raging snowstorm) to Danbury, CT hospital for treatment. She has received antibody infusion and Remdisivir and is doing well. Thank you for your prayers. Today’s Ephesians 3:19 verse is true: “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” Susie Larson, in Blessings for Every Day (Amazon) writes: May the God who created you fill you till you spill over with fresh joy and perspective. May the wisdom He imparts to you bless many as you speak life to those around you. May He stir up fresh fiery faith to take on the mountains and put them under your feet. Overwhelming victory is yours because you are His.” Just when I need assurance that we are in His tender care, I read something like this, or he answers prayers for me regarding my sister, and when I hear a sermon like Jerry Klemm preached on Sunday, January 31, or when my prayer partners unite in prayer for my family, I know it is God speaking truth to me. May you know His peace today as well.
