   1. Dear Ted, Yes, “dawn does come.” Took me awhile to learn that deep-down. And when I don’t know, someone else will remind me! Grateful, Ellen

7. Wonderful, Ellen. There has been a storm brewing all night last night after an absolutely gorgeous day that brought many disappointments. Between the pressure of the coming storm and all the thoughts running through my mind I couldn’t sleep a wink all night long but rose, curled up in my recliner and half awake/half asleep spent the night contemplating the events of the day. Each disappointment I brought into my prayers. Each time I came to know that a lot more work had to be done in each area. Today I am extremely tired … but know that sleep will come … and strength will come… and my faith in GOD’s guidance and love will not fail. I can’t do any of it without his strengthening comfort.

   1. Dear Patti, Thank you! So true about seeing rain from many angles. Because of a smaller amount of rain yesterday morning, I knew the soil could absorb the greater amount in the night. Our wheelbarrow is full of water. So I’m also thinking of how my heart needs to be prepared to receive more of God’s blessings…Ellen
