Everthing looking good....

When it comes to Andrew´s heart things are looking good. He was at the specialist today and got a good going over. They took scans of his heart and thankfully, it looked normal. They however want to discover why he is having these palpitations. He has now got a machine stuck to his chest to read his heart beats over the next 3 days, then in two weeks time he has to go for a EKG and see how the heart reacts to biking for a while! 




Things are not looking so good for Kristian´s dad who is doing poorly and slowly going down hill. 


Then my dad collapsed yesterday in church and is now in The Royal. It seems that he needed blood again. He got two units of blood on Thursday and had to get another load yesterday. He is still in hospital and is in good spirits, just tired. 


As for me, I am getting slowly on top of things. I wrote a list of "Things to do" yesterday afternoon and managed to get 7 of the 11 things ticked off the list! Whoopieeeee! I am feeling good. I also managed to get one of the Bible verses made and sent away. Now I am about to start number 2! This week things don´t seem so overwhelming:-) 

Words of a song have been going around my head today. It´s an old country & western gospel song called "Sheltered in the arms of God". I remember hearing my dad´s choir sing it when I was a kid. I loved the words even back then.


The words of the chorus say: 
So let the storms rage high and dark clouds rise,
They wont worry me,
cause I´m sheltered safe within the arms of God.
He walks with me, and not a word can harm me,   
For I´m sheltered in the arms of the God.

That´s how I feel - sheltered in Gods arms even when the storms of life rage about me. I feel safe!! Such a wonderful feeling of security! 


Ok I found the song on youtube sung by the good old Gaithers....
