June 14. This morning, Daddy shared with me the news item about the twenty-four story apartment building in London that burned down. As people described how women and children were standing at the upper windows and crying out, and others were jumping out of windows, my heart was saddened by the disaster. I wept for those people, but wept also for those there, and those in our neighborhood, who will burn forever in the lake of fire if they aren’t saved. Daddy and I also checked John chapter 2, and then I made corrections and set it up in the print file. While Daddy was gone to Gaffney, I did some writing in The Isles are Singing and completed a chapter this afternoon. Also did a little stitching of the long stitch picture which I started yesterday evening. “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” I John 3:22 We cannot expect God to hear and answer our prayers unless we keep his commandments and do what pleases Him. Holy living is a pre-requisite to answered prayer. June 15. So thankful for a good night’s rest. Slept really hard and it was going on 6:30 when I woke up this morning. Slept hard at nap time today too for about 1 1/2 hours. A little before 9:00, Daddy and I went off to Aldi and WalMart to do shopping. Saw Mary M in WalMart. She said that Joe is still not feeling very well. Got back home a little after 11:00 and put away groceries. Had time to answer a couple e-mails before lunch. After nap, I cut Daddy’s hair, then worked on the Proverbs lessons for the youth until supper time. Enjoyed a meat and cheese sandwich for supper and also a bowl of fruit salad with yogurt and pecan pieces. Did up the dishes after that - it was nice to have only a small stack of dishes to wash this time. Then found recipes for cream of broccoli soup and peanut butter cookies to make for Daddy. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” I John 4:18 Lord, help me to love you and to love others with a perfect love, that fear may be cast out and that your love may be manifest to those around me.
