Hi Everyone~

Yesterday was a great day for Nate.  He went Christmas shopping for a little while.  For some strange reason, yesterday, I battled with discouragement.  I woke in the morning with it.  I can't tell you why (the enemy??)  But I began to feel the normal "Christmas pressure" -- being two weeks behind.  Then I thought of the hymn:


Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heav'n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
A constant Friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches over me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

 
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me 
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches 
 

  
"Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

 
Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him,
From care He sets me free:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me.

He cares for Nate!!  

I ask that you pray:

For the headaches -- today is a particularly hard day.  With a brain injury, he shouldn't take narcotics...  so it is tricky!

Pray that we all stay focused on Him!  When Jesus is my portion - what more do I need?  Pray that we are constant in prayer!!

Much love to all of you prayer warriors!!!
