I am thankful for the beauty of the Creation. God chose to adorn the world is such glorious color and fall colors are, in my opinion, the most beautiful!
"I will glory in my Redeemer, whose priceless blood has ransomed me. Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails and hung Him on the judgment tree.

Though foes are mighty and rush upon me, My feet are firm, held by His grace, My feet are firm, held by His grace. I will glory in my Redeemer, who carries me on eagle's wings. He crowns my life with lovingkindness; His triumph song I'll ever sing. I will glory in my Redeemer, who waits for me at gates of gold. And when He calls me, it will be paradise, His face forever to behold, His face forever to behold."

(From Truth for Life) Today is not like any other Easter I have ever had. David is recovering from 4 months in the hospital due to COVID. He is dealing with many physical limitations as a result of those 4 months of lying in a hospital bed, not moving. He struggles to walk. He cannot eat solid food. His body is in pain all day, every day. So, instead of spending today in church celebrating the risen Lord, we will watch a service online.
