SOME THOUGHTS inspired by a random encounter at the hospital over the weekend while Derek was in the ICU recovering from surgery.
The prophet Isaiah wrote:
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isa. 40:8)
Isaiah’s words, quoted by Peter (1 Peter 1:24–25), remind us that our time in this life is short, but God’s word, which promises us a place in His house (John 14:1–3), is incorruptible and unchanging.
Thank you for your prayers! Derek’s surgery went as well as the surgeon hoped and his recovery thus far is right on track.
Sharon’s niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah.
