On trips I frequently see mile markers -- today we hit mile marker #3. Hu was discharged from his speech therapist (the last of his three therapists) and told that his diet now can include whatever he can tolerate. The graduation meal tonight was an avocado and tomato sandwich. Hu has missed those!
The past two months I've probably done more reflection about heaven than ever before. When I see my loved ones and dear friends dying it makes heaven even more real and I look forward to joining them in God's timing.
As a child I and many others learned the song, "Jesus Loves Me", and it will always hold a special place in my heart even as an adult. A friend sent me the words to a "Senior Version" by an unknown author.
Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
(CHORUS)
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."
(CHORUS)
When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.
(CHORUS)
I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
(CHORUS)
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."
(CHORUS)
When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.
(CHORUS)
I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
CHORUS)
I want to be faithful to thank Him every day for His great gift of His love to me!
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 2 Cor. 9:15
