Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. — Philippians 4:4-5
And ask Him to give us gentleness.
And to give us patience.
So that we can be a light in the darkness of our cruel world,
And an example to others.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. — Philippians 4:4-5
Help me to be gentle to all.
God the Lord is near.
I rejoice in Him.
His love endures forever.
Here's our family on Easter.
Cameron took this photo so he's not in it.
Rudy joined us after dinner for desert.

We were in the competition pool, so the water was a bit cooler.
(The photo is of the pool we swam in when we were in Palm Desert in August.)
The cool water was good, considering the air temperature was 90+, even in La Jolla.
And we had to wait about ten minutes before we could get in, since we arrived early.
The water was very refreshing and comfortable after we swam a lap.
God is near.
His love surrounds us.
And He reminds us to be gentle to all, even those we disagree with.
That is not always easy.
But it is possible, with His help.
Thank you, Lord.
