Heaven's Glow Here Below...

Last night a little 'burst' of something created havoc in our little village for a few minutes;

 before you could blink neighbours were out helping neighbours, 

the sound of chain-saws and voices filling the misty, evening air.

My favorite orchard's last plum tree is uprooted plus many laden, broken fruit trees.

My friend lost a huge tree in her yard.
Thankfully, there are no reports of injuries anywhere, only lost trees.

People rally in the valley

When ill weather ruins ‘plan’

Then we gather, sister, brother

Help each other where we can

Listen honey, when it’s sunny

We are apt to soon forget

…take for granted what is planted

‘Neath the footpath that we tread

God in Heaven knows we’re given

Spirits strong and undeterred

If this Dust can learn to trust Him

Troubled waters prove mere word

People rally in the valley

Here the Balm in Gilead grows

Hope beseeches, Mercy reaches

To dark trenches; heaven glows

 Here is last night's update from Dave's wife...

Hello everyone! 

Thankful to report he had another good day! Thank-you SO much for all the prayers etc. He sat on the side of the bed for 1 HR and took a few steps! A lot easier today; not so much pain when they helped him out. His appetite was better today as well

 ( it being roast beef for supper maybe helped ) 

Resting nicely right now. 

Prayers are being answered!

 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;

he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,

I will call on him as long as I live.

Psalm 116:1-2
