I tried to send this the other night, but it apparently did not go through, so I’ll try again.

Here is a message for you from Ft. Scott, Kansas:

“My love to Connie — from Esther”

Mindy

Just a little note to say my thoughts and prayers go with you on your journey. I admire the strength of your faith and how it sustains you through the darker times. If only mine were that strong!
May God’s peace be with you!
Jeff Parker

I’ll try again

God gives me my days of gladness,
And I will trust Him still
When He send me sadness.
God is good: His love attends me
Day by day, come what may.
Guides me and defends me.
(LSB 756:3)

God’s peace to you and Charles tonight.
With love, Irene

I returned from the Good Shepherd Institute at the Fort Wayne Seminary tonight after 3 days of being drenched with information (in a positive way) about the hymns of Paul Gerhardt. Two of today’s presenters spoke of the use of those hymns in their pastoral care. What wonderful words of hope, love, and comfort!

After hearing the presentations today and then reading your entry, those hymns take on yet a more personal meaning. Hymns like “Evening and Morning,” “Rejoice, My Heart, Be Glad and Sing,” “Entrust Your Days and Burdens,” and others of the 16 hymns included in the Lutheran Service Book.

Your entries have been so consistent in your proclamation of your trust in God. This stanza seems to say it so well:
God gives me my days of gladness,
And I will trust Him still when He sends me
