Hope

Good mid morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! David was here mowing this morning, so I was delayed in getting to the PC. It has been raining slightly and is nice and cloudy, so that makes the grass grow even faster. But David does a good job. We are blessed to have him.

Yesterday we went to Sawgrass, where I hoped to see Francia for her next to last day. Since she was not there yet, I went ahead and took my walk, stopped to see Mama gator at her usual spot beside the first shelter, and then on to the tower, where I watched an osprey soaring round and round over the lake. I was hoping to see it hover, and , sure enough, he hovered twice. I am always excited when I see one hover.

So I came on back and saw Francia with Mark W., one of the former staff, They were wheeling out a large aquarium with a large snake in it. Mark put it in the back of his truck to care for it until Francia needs it again. I gave her a retirement card and told her she would be missed. She had an emotional day the day before, cleaning out her desk and taking a last walk around the park. Things are ever changing, but God never changes. God is good!

A short benediction today from one of my favorite verses:

Romans 15:13 NKJV
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power
of the Holy Spirit.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
