Tuesday News

• We are heading a few hours west tonight for tests and treatments tomorrow. We haven't had these particular tests for a couple of years, so it will be good to see what has or hasn't changed. We'll drive back tomorrow evening.
• Our whole family made it to morning worship this past Sunday! It has been months since that happened. I remember all of us being there on Father's Day last summer, and there might have been one other time. JOY!
• We are hoping to be able to take part in our choir concert, "Messiah," coming up on March 3rd. It is a long concert and even if we could sing the first half of it, we'd be thrilled. We'd appreciate specific prayers that we'd be able to sing some or all of Handel's glorifying and edifying music with the rest of the choristers that evening.

Thanks for reading!

Whate'er My God Ordains (3)

Whate’er my God ordains is right: Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken.
My Father’s care is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall: And so to Him I leave it all.

Whate'er My God Ordains (2)

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking.
My God is true; each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.

Whate'er My God Ordains

Whate’er my God ordains is right: His loving thought attends me;
No poison can be in the cup That my Physician sends me.
My God is true; each morn anew
I’ll trust His grace unending, My life to Him commending.

Whate’er my God ordains is right: He is my Friend and Father;
He suffers naught to do me harm, Though many storms may gather,
Now I may know both joy and woe,
Some day I shall see clearly That He hath loved me dearly. a 17th century German chorale

A musical delight
