Jesus Healed Them

At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah. — Luke 4:40

Ladle Street Choir at our church

Jesus healed people who had various kinds of sickness.

He heals us today, too.

The demons were shouting that Jesus is the Son of God!

They knew that He was the Messiah.

We know that, too.

He is the Great Physician.

We are thankful and blessed.

Be Patient

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm. — James 5:7-8

Saturday we went to dinner to celebrate Abby's birthday with friends and family.

Here's the view from the restaurant.

We timed it perfectly and even got to watch the beautiful sunset over the ocean.

God has blessed us with 22 years with our daughter.

We had a fun time celebrating and catching up over dinner.

It's not always easy to be patient, but God helps us learn how to be patient when we get anxious or worried. We are thankful.

Do What Is Right

This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. — Jeremiah 22:3

Our neighbors just left for a trip to Hawaii.

Today they sent us some photos.

This one of the sunset over Oahu was from their trip a few years ago.

It's beautiful! Makes me feel like I'm actually there.

One of these days, we'll get back to the Big Island.

We can hardly wait.

In the meantime, we enjoy the sunsets here in San  Diego.

God has blessed us.

May My Meditation Be Pleasing

May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord. — Psalm 104:34

We rejoice in the Lord and in the beauty of his holiness.

Here's the beautiful sunset we saw from our patio last week. 

Yesterday we filled our patio with friends and family and had a fun dinner together. 

After the fireworks we headed back home for s'mores. Max tried them for the first time, and they were a hit.

What an incredible world we live in.

Our God is amazing.

We are blessed.
