I'm Back

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 118:1

As mentioned in previous devotionals, my family can tell the Texas Legislature is in session by the plagues that hit us. Jerry’s pain from the herniated disc in his neck went from bad to worse. After two trips to the emergency room, a visit with a pain management specialist, and a consultation with an orthopedic neurosurgeon last week, he opted to undergo surgery on Monday.

He is home and feeling better. He survived my coming into the office for half a day yesterday. And, I know he is getting better because he thinks I should be at the office instead of at home with him.

So, today is just one of those “Praise God Days.”

Praise God for modern medicine. And pain medication. And a full night of sleep.

Praise God for the boss whose primary concern was that I be there for Jerry.

Praise God for the wonderful staff in the office who picked up the slack while I was gone.

And, praise God for babies and puppies and kittens, because they are so cute and cuddly. (Just thought I’d throw that one in ‘cause I’m in such a good mood.)

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever.
