Mercy 2 Me

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations." -Psalm 100:4,5

This Psalm came to me while I was lying on the radiation table tonight. It is one of the first scriptures I memorized as a new Christian twenty years ago. When we started having Thanksgiving dinners at our Valley Center home, I wrote it on notecards and placed them on the table. I still have one of the original notecards and I put it out every Thanksgiving. It is written in black magic marker on a lined notecard, not very attractive, but very sentimental. Anyway, tonight it came to me because of the line " for the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting.." I had just met with a new Dr, filling in for my regular one who is on vacation. We immediately 'clicked' ~I asked her tons of questions and her honest answers gave me a great sense of peace. She was God's mercy in human form.

Treatment went so fast, I was bubbling with thankfulness inside. Afterwards, we went out for a great sushi dinner. As we left the restaurant and walked out into the warm Arizona evening, a full moon was coming up from behind the Rincon mountains.... awesome! He was whispering to me again ~ "It's going to be okay, Denise, keep trusting Me."
