Hi all, Cody was up again most of last night.  We still made it to church and as usual, I am always filled to the brim there.  Cody has a 1:1 person with him each Sunday - 4 different people rotate throught the month.  And today I couldn't find his helper so I was just pushing him around in his stroller looking for her.  It seemed she'd forgotten so I was just going to take him on a walk outside the church grounds myself.  Four different people said, "I'll watch him" as I walked by.   Four people willing to give up their service, so that I could attend.  Such an amazing feeling - knowing that even tho our circumstances don't seem to change - our church family make the burden we bear so much lighter.  As it turned out, his 1:1 person was just late and found me.  And I didn't take anyone up on their offer.  But the hearts of these people, and of the Lord using them in our lives, gave me more than sleep every could.  I know we're not alone.  And isn't that all we really need to know?  Thank you Kim, Angie, Cathy and Kirsten.  You are one of the millions of ways God constantly reminds me how lucky we are.   

He Giveth More Grace

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.
His pow'r has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

Annie Johnson Flint

2Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
