Cindy Cramer:  Here is the latest on Cindy from her daughter.

Good news! My mom is making great progress in rehab and they've given her a tentative discharge date of August 13! She's walking on a walker already, but they want her to have time to build up her strength some more before letting her out.

 

 

Also — there is no need to bring her food anymore. It turns out, the food at this place is really good — much better than the hospital food was! 

 

Thank you all again so much for all your cards, gifts, thoughts, and prayers! You are really helping to make her stay more tolerable, and she is fortunate to have such a strong support network!

 

Jeremiah 1:   … for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 12:   So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Luke 1:  Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived –
This is to have succeeded.

Richard distributes Communion         

Isaiah 53:  Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones," as he himself carries the burden of their sins

Hebrews 4:  So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

Mark 10:  It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.  Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.

Lynda reads her blessing

 

 

Lynda's Blessing:

Today I am thankful for eyes that have come to see that life will not always be easy.
That road will bend.
Those lines will blur.
That tides will rise.
And that storms will come.
I am thankful for those lights that took the form of humans.
Who shone into me when I was at my lowest.
Who were not afraid of sadness. Or darkness.
Or the many layers that wove themselves around me and made me hard to understand.
Or reach. Or even hard to love sometimes.
I'm thankful for skies that change color.
For paths that change direction.
And for seasons that remind me that we are all just one breath away from a new beginning.
I am thankful, knowing that kindness still exists.
That the truth is out there.
That faith can move mountains.
And that I was made for every last bit of it.

~ 'Thankful' by Ullie Kaye

 

 

Daniel 7: …The  one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship; all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.

2 Peter:  …"This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased."

Matthew 17:  And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light.
