Things remain tough as we adjust to a new 'normal' for a while and long for my husband to overcome a persistent infection which is somewhat delaying his recovery. God's grace has wonderfully sustained us during this testing time. Your prayers are truly welcome, my friend. xoJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-13294275126031649072016-08-28T04:30:19.253+01:002016-08-28T04:30:19.253+01:00Joy,

Glad you like the 'art'! It has helped keep creativity alive during a time when writing was impossible to do. It's taken me a while but I am grateful to God for enabling me to have words to share again.

And when we do lean on God and rest in His presence we receive all the help and healing we need. Thank you for your kind concern. When we're preoccupied with looking after others it's all too easy to neglect needful self-care as well.Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-32007561196888115032016-08-18T11:59:18.575+01:002016-08-18T11:59:18.575+01:00I am so sorry to hear about your husband, but glad...I am so sorry to hear about your husband, but glad that he's now improving. How important it is to burrow into what God is wanting to teach us, when our lives are completely disrupted. And sometimes it is just that we should learn to rest in his presence. Take care of yourself too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
