Sabbath rest

I got to stay in bed late again and was blessed by several visitors in the afternoon. From coworkers to neighbors to roommates, I enjoyed the chance to smile and laugh with people I love. The whole ward was blessed by the happenstance that Dayla brought a violin. I'll be the first to say that I have the most incredible friends, but in case you doubt me, when I requested LOTR, she busted out the famous Howard Shore riff that she learned by ear. She followed it up with my favorite hymn, Be Thou My Vision. 

Next week is sure to be tough, but my vision is fixed above (Col 3:1), and I'll make it through with strength that comes from Christ. Thank you for continued prayers for strength as I have another full week of therapy ahead.
