April 14. Laundry day. The warmer mornings are such a blessing in that I can do the wash and hang it out much earlier now. It has been very warm today, and we have been running fans a good part of the day. After laundry, I did some straightening up in the kitchen as the plumber would be coming to install a new water heater. (We were getting dirty water through the old one.) Then I got busy cutting up veggies for a pot of soup -- taters, napa cabbage, celery, carrots, onion, zucchini, mushrooms, a few little pieces of organic beef jerkey that Connie couldn’t eat. Wanted to get that on cooking before the plumber got busy in the kitchen. About mid-morning, Christy and Connie went off to visit our former neighbor Ruth and also went to the bank and store. Christy had the day off work so it seemed like Saturday today. Tomorrow we’ll have another Saturday. She will also have Monday off work. I had just started the soup cooking when the plumber Jason arrived. His father was with him this time, and Jason didn’t seem nearly so stressed out. He was having quite a bit of back pain, however. We had to move the cupboard that was next to the water heater space, but that wasn’t too difficult. Then they borrowed a garden hose to drain out the old water heater. While that was draining, they went off to buy a new heater. It didn’t take them long to remove the old one and get the new one installed once they returned. Worked on Lait I Kamap while we were waiting for Jason and his dad to finish work in the kitchen. Gave them each an “Amazing Grace” tract when they were ready to leave. Then Daddy and I had our lunch. This afternoon, I finished the last few paragraphs of Lait I Kamap and then started looking for pictures to go with the story. Also folded the clothes we washed this morning and did more proofreading of the Sunday school lessons for Mike. Almost done now. “17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.” Hebrews 6:18-20 There are two things that never change - God’s counsel (or His advice, purpose, will) and God’s oath (a fence, limit, or sacred restraint, which is the end of all strife - see verse 16). By these two things, it is impossible for God to lie. Praise God! And because it is impossible for Him to lie, I can have great comfort in the hope that is set before me. This hope is a sure and steadfast anchor for my soul. I can be absolutely sure that God will keep His promises. Amen! April 15. Christy and Connie went off to market this morning and bought a few items; but they said the vendors didn’t have much produce yet. Then they went to WalMart to get a fan for the living room. Daddy and I stayed here, and I put away some of my winter things and a few items to send to PNG. Later in the morning, Daddy and I went for a walk. Then I started looking for more pictures for the Lait I Kamap book. This afternoon, I spent more time looking for pictures and also swept our bedroom floor and the living room rug and floor. “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25. Praise the Lord that we are saved to the uttermost! Our salvation is entire, complete.
