Dear Friends, Just some of my revelations from this week and today. When we arrived home this past Monday evening from Arkansas our little neighbor, Ryan, brought our mail over to me that his family collected while we were gone. While thumbing through it I came across a piece of mail for Jerry. A Jury Summons! Jerry had been summoned for jury duty. My first thought was cynical (grief was heavy at the moment since we had just arrived back home...alone) and I thought, "what a way to get out of jury duty Jerry." I laid the summons on the counter and for some reason found myself picking it up ever so often when I would pass by and see it. I would look at it, re-read it, and just kind of hold it questioningly? I have thought about that jury summons a lot this past week. I've even had to call the Courthouse to let them know that Jerry would definitely not be showing up at his appointed time......And, then God speaks....."Candy, Jerry has been summoned alright, but he has been served a summons to appear before the most sovereign Supreme Court Judge there is! And, yes, he did appear at his appointed time." Today was our first day back to church since Jerry's illness began. It was not easy going to church without him. But guess what the chorus was to one of the songs we sang this morning? Better is one day in your courts Better is one day in your house Better is one day in your courts Than a thousand elsewhere The chorus is taken from Psalm 84:10 "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." And God speaks..... Love, Candy
