Every day with Jesus

There's a song I learned as a new Christian.   It goes "every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before"-I don't remember much more than that.  Yesterday I went to VGH to get a blood transfusion and today instead of being sleepy I was alert the whole day.  In the afternoon Laverne and I went out to the little shopping mall by ourselves.  We went up and down the aisles in Safeway.  One of the patients here has a cupholder fastened to a chest belt and we looked at the different cups at Starbucks and Safeway to see if we could find a cup to go in a holder.  We decided in the end to get the cupholder first.  On the way back to GF Strong it was raining and we got a little wet but it was worth it to have our first solo trip outside.  This week we plan to atten some of the paralympics.  In the words of Tony the Tiger "I feel gr-r-reat!" Thank you for all your prayers

  1. Tears of joy as I read this story of you going off together to the grocery store...praise God from whom all blessings flow...

    I remember learning that song too...in Sunday School at Stillwater Hall...too many years ago!

    Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
    Every day with Jesus, I love Him more and more;
    Jesus saves and keeps me, and He’s the One I’m waiting for.
    Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.

  3. I thought men did not like shopping.Just kidding. I am so thrilled you two had such a fun time shopping. Not to sound funny but did you try in the kid section. They have cool cups in there. And maybe one light enough and will conveniently may fit in your cup holder. Hugs to you both. Dorie :O)

  5. Charlotte and Earl went to see some of the paralympic events and could not get over how much stronger these athletes seemed than able bodied athletes. We, Paul and I, saw some of these event on the TV and found the same. There are so many other things these people had to overcome before they could begin their sports. We are in awe and we feel that you will have a wonderful time being part of these events and than of course the fact that you will be out on your own, starting to take part of "normal" life again. I am thrilled for you and will be in prayer so that this will be a wonderful and blessed time
