Psalm 103

Of David.
¹ Bless the Lord, O my soul,
   and all that is within me,
   bless his holy name. 
² Bless the Lord, O my soul,
   and do not forget all his benefits— 
³ who forgives all your iniquity,
   who heals all your diseases, 
⁴ who redeems your life from the Pit,
   who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 
⁵ who satisfies you with good as long as you live^*
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Visited Mayo on Monday for my "five year" post stem cell transplant follow up PET scan and labs. No evidence of active disease. Lymph nodes were clear. Thank you Heavenly Father for your endless grace, mercy and healing in every situation. Living today and each new day as the most important day of my life. Thank you Jesus for the privilege of one more day to serve You and others, Amen.

To all those going through this journey, hold on to the hope and help that Jesus brings no matter what the future brings. Enjoy today's blessings of family, friends and those who minister to us. God is with us all the time. Immanuel!

From a "grateful one" traveling the Journey Toward Healing with you.

Romans 5

5Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we^* have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ²through whom we have obtained access^* to this grace in which we stand; and we^* boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. ³And not only that, but we^* also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, ⁴and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, ⁵and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
