renewed strength

"He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
~Isaiah 40: 29-31





I'm so thankful for:

A fairly smooth trip to University of Michigan yesterday so Dave could have his procedure to hopefully deaden the nerves leading to his tumor.
A safe trip home in the cold, dark rainy weather.
The piece of chocolate chip cookie he ate on the way home.
That Vernors and Vanilla ice cream sounded good to him (just like Vic!!)
The conversations Pattie and I are having.
Watching Pattie take such wonderful care of my brother.
My husband's compassion and support.
The concern of my children regarding me and their Uncle Dave.
These comfort meals we are having.
That right this minute his pain is a 3 on the scale of 1-10.
That he is able to rest.
That I am not working so I can be here with them.
That Naze is so generous and has this house right next door.
That Naze is a Registered Nurse!
For the prayers, emails, messages and texts from my friends.
For little Evelyn Pearl Karnowski born early this morning. (Dave's newest grand-daughter.)
That I had the best sleep ever last night and that I feel like great today... Joy came in the morning!
That God's Presence is so obvious to me.

I know I could list a million more things, but I better get off of this computer for now.
