March 5. Seventy-fifth day of winter. This morning, I wrote a couple e-mails, got last week’s journal notes set up in the file for Connie, transferred and edited last week’s pictures, and sent journal notes and pictures off to Connie. Then Daddy and I went out for a little stretch. It was good to get out, but we didn’t go too far from the house. An icy wind blew in our faces whenever we walked toward the north so we just walked around the house a bit and then came back inside. It was a delight to see all the violets in bloom. After our walk, I printed out a text only copy of the newsletter so we could proofread it. Got that proofread and made jpg and a pdf copies to send to Christy. Shortly after nap, I returned a call to Ruthie. She had called while I was napping. It’s always nice to chat with sisters. Then I printed envelopes for the dozen updates that need to go out by mail, filled the ink tanks on the printer, and printed out twelve copies of the newsletter to go in the printed envelopes. Also had to go back a couple times and correct mistakes that we had missed when we proofread and resend a pdf copy of the newsletter to Christy for e-mailing. Didn’t need to resend a jpg copy because I will make the printed copies on our printer. Her printer is low on ink, and her ink is more expensive than what ours is. “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.” Proverbs 16:31 What a joy it is to have a “crown of glory” if we know that we have walked in the way of righteousness! March 6. Seventy-sixth day of winter. Rainy, damp, and chilly. The morning was full of busy-ness with laundry, acknowledging supporters who receive letters by USPS, going out to a couple thrift stores to look for a few needed items, printing newsletters for Christy to prepare for mailing, packing glass items out of the china cabinet, and working on a John lesson for Mike. Got several more pages of a John lesson written this afternoon and evening. Also printed out more copies of the newsletter and did a little crocheting. “11Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day…. 15Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end…. 18But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God….” Deuteronomy 8:11,15,16, 18a Oh, LORD my God, may I never forget how You have led us through many trials, have protected us, have provided all our needs, have fed us, have humbled us and proved us, so that you might do us good. May I never forget so that I turn from obeying you and turn to walking after the world and after my own lusts. May I always remember the LORD my God to fear Him and walk in all His ways all the days of my life.
