It brings me to tears ...Dear brother Jack and Lena,<br />It brings me to tears when I read your blog, how helpless we humans are and dependent on God. <br />Oh Jack, I so pray that much good comes out of our illnesses and God will bless it to countless hearts. Even if we will never see the outcome I pray that God will be glorified each and every day. <br />You and Lena are in our prayers daily.<br />Isaiah 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.<br /><br />THE WEAVER<br />My life is but a weaving between my Lord and me,<br />I cannot choose the colors He worketh steadily. <br /><br />Oft times He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride<br />forget He sees the upper but I the under side.<br /><br />Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly,<br />shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.<br /><br />The dark threads are as needed in the Weaver's skillful hand,<br />as threads of gold and silver in the pattern life has planned.<br /><br />Benjamin Malachi Franklin (1882-1965)<br />John Van Woerdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481204231814102019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376552030229103524.post-38406560759576967132012-11-20T20:32:39.470-05:002012-11-20T20:32:39.470-05:00I have been reading your blog for a long time and ...I have been reading your blog for a long time and have often been encouraged by God's faithfulness in upholding you and your wife. We have recently lost a daughter to Zellweger Syndrome or Infantile Refsum Disease and it is a similar disease to yours. God also upheld us and did not let us down. His wedding text to us was "Caste thy burden on the Lord and He shall sustain thee." Ps 55:22. This has proven to be true over and over. We pray for you and your family daily.
