Day of Rest and Sweet Anticipation (July, '05)

Ahhhhh.   The day of rest is finally here.  The children are well, my sickness seems to be getting better, and I have a suspicion of an event that, if true, would make me bubble over with joy.    I am content now.   I am at rest presently but not complacent.   Still a longing is here; thoughts of what might have been and what could still be...  Has The Father heard my prayer?   Has He turned His face toward me?  Has the He noticed me with favor?  Oh, that He would bless me again and shine His face on me and look on me with favor....  The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord!
