Sabbath day continued

I am picking up this evening so I thought I would write just a couple minutes again just because I can!  Today was a rougher day with quite a bit of pain.  Finallly tonight I was able to get myself up without help which feels like an accomplishment.  I decided to try sitting in the chair again and this time went considerably better than this morning.  :)  My mistake was that while enjoying being out of bed so much I stayed in my chair for to long and let the pain grow to much, so I couldn't get out of it again.  So I called for pain meds and I am starting to feel better so I will type for a couple minutes and then get ready to call it a night.

My primary reason for wanting to write is that I wanted to share a scripture that a dear lady shared with me this last week. So, since the pain meds have kicked in I was able to pick up the computer and sharing this today seemed especially appropriate.

Habakkuk 3:17-19
Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor the fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may mail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer's feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills.

This is such a comfort to me as my health situation has been so complex and difficult and pain dogs my path.  But I will still rejoice in the God of my salvation!  This life seems to stretch out, long and difficult.  Yet this life is fleeting and my salvation is forever!  I can endure these pain filled days knowing that God is my right hand and has each step ordered for me.  And on a lighter note, having "deer's feet" today as I at times couldn't lift my feet for pain sounds delightful!  :)

Have a blessed Sabbath rest!
