GOD IS SO GOOD ! !
.
This is a note to record my awareness { 'renewed' – 'extended' – 'visited' – or whatever }: of: God's great grace, goodness, provision, love, and more.
Today is November 7th, 2014. Yesterday I spent some time on the phone seeking guidance from the local “social” workers, who can give help in understanding how “home-care” may be secured. Mary and I will be needing it {if, in fact, we don't need it right now!!} soon, so, not only have our kids urged consideration of some “changes”, but we have both talked some about our “situation”. Thus, during the phone interviews, one of the helpers asked, among many other things, “how long have you been married?” …. I responded, 63 years. She remarked, How wonderful [or words to have effect] …. I replied, {as I often do when I give out that information about our marriage} …. God is Good. Because I later sat and considered what I said . . . God is Good . . . . I came to “awareness” ….. of just HOW GOOD!!
___________________________ _______________ --___ ,
It was approximately, 54 years ago in Shikarpur, Sindh Pakistan, we were having our Annual Conference ….. Some of you will remember, no doubt. Mary at that moment was in the Sukkur Mission Hospital . . . she had gone into a coma. Hepatitis {no one knew in those days if it was: “a” “b” or “whatever” degree} . LATER: when we got to the U of M here, they found it had given her “cirrochis of the liver” …. anyhow – - - - GOD GAVE HER BACK TO US.
Remember … Mark had been born : Dec. 13, 1957 …. this was Nov. 1960 After that: . . . I had Hepatitis . . . not nearly as severe as Mary . . . and we left for the USA [on Doctor's orders] about January 03, 1961 . . and stayed there until . . . About::: May/June of 1962 . . . and returned to the HILLS OF MURREE . . another story!!
TODAY IS: DECEMBER 14, 2014 … One day after Mark's Birthday!!! He's now 57 ! ! Please understand that this document is “a work in progress” [More will be added from time to time.] BUT: TODAY Praise God. Rejoice with us! Give THANKS!!!
Sincerely, In His Glad Service, Paul, for Mary {who by the way is having a “tough” day}!

{Today is: January 03, 2015! Please give me a “break” --- and for some: This is really a “recollection” aimed at our Colleagues from Pakistan.}.
