I now know...
not know as in head knowledge
but knowing as experince-ial knowledge
knowing and understanding why Aunt Betty's MSN user name is "living as a testimony to GOD'S goodness"

You can't begin to really appreaciate the wonderful mercies that come each day, HIS ever new lovingkindness
until you've been in a situation where only GOD can help you
and though what I went through yesterday(April 22, 2008) was far far less in severity and magnitude than what Aunt Betty has experinced......

It's also true that you never appreciate the good things you have until trouble strikes,
and yesterday
all the prayers,
all the caring deeds,
all my friends who took care of me.....


Words can't begin to describe what i want to say
but a well known chorus comes into mind now....

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
they are new every morning, new every morning,
Great is Thy faithfulness O LORD,
Great is Thy faithfulness

Where would i be if YOU had not been by my side?
How could i rise to meet the morning of the day?
YOUR tender mercy always calling from behind
At times i could not see You even though You were close by

And LORD, You are good,
You are good,
and Your mercies forever endures
