My Everything Quilt

"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. I will glory in my Redeemer, who crushed the power of sin and death; My only Savior before the Holy Judge, The Lamb who is my righteousness, The Lamb who is my righteousness. I will glory in my Redeemer; My life He bought, my love He owns. I have no longings for another; I'm satisfied in Him alone. I will glory in my Redeemer, His faithfulness, my standing place. 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."

Today is March 6. How did that happen?! Today is our daughter's 9 year wedding anniversary. It is a beautiful sunny day today, just like that day 9 years ago. It is very cold today, in the 30s. Every year I tell myself I am going to write on this blog more often, and yet, here it is into March and this is the first time I am writing, or even looking at it! January and February were cold and rainy. We endured a lot of sickness within the family; we like to share!! David turned 60 last weekend! Mom was moved into a nursing home in January; now, finally, Daddy gets to move there also. I am very interested to hear what their reactions will be when they see each other for the first time in 2 months. I so wish I could be there! My sisters have been taking care of everything for them for years; I fight the guilt of not being there to help. This is self-imposed guilt - my sisters are great at not throwing it in my face that I am not there.  Mom and Daddy have moved at least 4 times...
