I met my husband while I was a missionary in Hong Kong. He had swum out of China after the Cultural Revolution. We have been married 32 years and have four children (2 biological and 2 adopted), ages 22-30. My mother also lives with us (she just turned 90). I am truly a blessed woman.

"The Lord Delighteth in Thee"

What a way to begin a new week with the knowledge that the Lord delights in me! The verses from Daily Light were such an encouragement to me this morning.

The LORD delighteth in thee.

T HUS saith the LORD that created thee, . . . Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.--Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.--My delights were with the sons of men.--The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.--They shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

You, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.


ISA. 62. 4. Is. 43. 1.--Is. 49. 15, 16.
Ps. 37. 23.--Pr. 8. 31.--Ps. 147. 11.--
Mal. 3. 17. Col. 1. 21, 22.

"Wonderful words of life!"
I can't find my copy of Daily Light
so I think I will have to ask for it for Christmas.
Thanks again for something to meditate on.

Violet,
Mmmm, I knew I'd find words to minister to my soul here, tonight.
Thank you - now I'm going to have to get a cup of jasmine tea to chew on them with. :)

(I've been soaking in Isaiah these days - it felt like finding a friend here, when I arrived.)
