My answer to Joe and Betty's very warm and loving greeting this morning was,
"Bad. I'm not feeling good. And I'm really grumpy."
Such Dear Ones. Giant hearts who know how to love others well.
Betty just hugged me tighter and spoke the sweetest encouraging words to me.
Joe said that's okay, this is a safe place, then handed me this peppermint...
"Something to sweeten your day..."
And then the worship service began...
Songs were sung...prayers were prayed...The Word was read and taught...
Over and over God poured out HIS MERCY and GRACE on me.
Did my body stop hurting? nope
Did I cry a bucket of tears? yep
Was there "something to sweeten my day" in the morning for me? Yes and Amen!
We started worship with a well known and loved favorite - "Great is Thy Faithfulness",
then ended with a song new to me, but one I'll surely keep on repeat for a while.

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm...
...so God, we trust in You...
"The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you."
Psalm 9:9-10
