April 3. A very rainy day today, but no big storms as predicted. We are thankful for the rain to water the earth and freshen the air. Besides making a smoothie and cooking quinoa for my breakfast, morning activities included getting journal notes ready for Connie and sending them off with a few pictures, discussing some matters with Daddy, finding recipes for mushroom soup, making the soup, and cooking some broccoli to go with Daddy’s dinner. This afternoon, we finished checking Luke 22 which we thought we had finished before. Then I started resizing the Scriptures that are already in the print file. Otherwise there will be too many pages for the New Testament. After a stretch break, I wrote another Sunday school lesson. Have one more to write, and then we’ll try to get another packet ready to send out to PNG. Have one set to reprint and mail for the third time. Am not sure by what means we will send them as some means aren’t reliable, and others are too slow. There was quite a stack of dishes to wash this evening. Then I used the dish water to clean off the shelf next to the stove, wash the canisters that had been sitting empty for some time, and fill the canisters with bottles of vitamins that were sitting by the stove, making that little shelf area look a bit neater. “14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14,15 The devil had the power of death and destroyed many who died. Through Christ’s death, however, the one who had the power of death has been destroyed. And those who fear death have been delivered from its bondage. Thank you for the Lord Jesus who partook of flesh and blood and died so that his death could deliver me from death. April 4. What a lovely day the Lord gave us! Up to 77 or 78º. This morning I wrote a couple e-mails, wrote down prayer requests and deleted e-mails, washed and hung out clothes, enjoyed a chat with Beth on the phone, worked on a Sunday school lesson, and made some delicious sugar-free (almost) brownies. Boiled dates, baking soda and water together (the dates gave it sweetness), and then added a little butter, a little peanut butter, whole wheat flour, salt, cocoa, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips (that’s why they were only “almost” sugar-free). Baked, cooled, and tasted. Yum! This afternoon, Daddy and I went out to Peak Nursing home to visit James I and Ted M. It was hard to visit well with James since they had him sitting out in the center of the building right by the main desk, and there was no place for us to sit. Maybe another time, he’ll be in his room. We did enjoy a nice visit with Ted, and he was happy to see us. He will turn 72 on December 29. Also met his 90-year-old roommate Clyde. By the time we got home, it was supper time. After supper, I cut Daddy’s hair and then made a shopping list. Now it is time to do dishes. “For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.” Hebrews 2:18 Praise the Lord that my Saviour understands my temptations and can help me in times of trial because He also suffered temptations.
