“At the Lord’s command they encamped,
and at the Lord’s command they set
out.
They obeyed the Lord’s order,
in accordance with his command through
Moses.”

Eric, the
physical therapy technician, followed me as I laboriously pushed the walker
down the hallway. I ran headlong into Cora, one of the hospital administrators.
“Who are you looking for?” the technician asked. “Her!” she said pointing at

“He will wipe every tear from their
eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed
away.”
(Revelation 21:4 NIV)
My
husband, Jeff, and I recently watched a documentary about a man who cannot feel
pain. His parents discovered his odd ability when he chewed off his tongue while
teething.

“He said, ‘Throw your net on the right
side of the boat
and you will find some.’
When they did, they were unable to
haul the net in
because of the large number of fish.”
(John 21:6 NIV)
Our
daughter’s family came for a long weekend visit over the Easter and spring break
holidays. Saturday morning a new package of fish hooks blew off the dock into
the water, lost to the watery depths. The next day our granddaughter, Dahlia,
cast the fish net into the water to catch bait and pulled up the package of new
fish hooks! “You never know,” I said to my husband, Jeff.

“Father, if you are willing, take this
cup from me;
yet not my will, but yours be done.”
(Luke 22:42 NIV)
The Maundy
Thursday communion service touched my heart. The choir sang two pieces from our
Easter cantata and I was filled with the Holy Spirit. When I got home, my
husband and I anxiously waited for our daughter and her family to arrive from
Birmingham.
