Nona's Thoughts about Popa's Birthday

My original blog regarding Popa's Birthday somehow did not get published or saved as a draft. So, I quess it was not to be! Popa's birthday ushered in his 57th year on this earth and our hopes for a blessed new year in health and spirit. We celebrated with friends from Portland, our youngest daughter and her family and one of our cohorts on our trip to China. Daugher #1 was here in the a.m. and her family helped Popa say goodnight to 56 on Wednesday. It was a great day and Popa got some really cool gifts some of which he will purchase for himself tomorrow. Look out, he is getting the surround system he has wanted for a very long time. Wednesday of this week he will have a minor eye surgery to try to stop the retinal bleed he has had for the past several months. God knows and we rest in HIM, the author and finisher of our faith. We are excited as we move forward in Christ; knowing HE will provide for all of our needs and that we are an extension of HIS life in us. Middle daughter is in Charlotte for an interview and then onto Louisville, Kentucky for another interview and then to New Orleans for 2 more interviews.....we are praying for God's perfect placement for her as her residency begans in the fall. God is always faithful and we are excited about HIS hope being released afresh and anew in our lives. Press on in the faith and continue in the way of our Savior and Lord, His mercies never come to an end. Nona
