more than enough for today.

the graciousness and goodness of God today has certainly been more than enough.  i am rejoicing today for some wonderful improvements of my man that have been absolute gifts from Jesus - and because of the prayers of so many.

let me take time to give glory to the One who "holds everything together by the word of [His] immoveable power."

so, "i'll sing a song of praise". . .
