Devotion From Pastor Kathryn: July 8, 2021

7/8/2021

 
​“Blessed be the Lord,  who daily bears us up.” (Psalm 68:19)
 
My heart is filled with gratitude for your support and encouragement for me during my recovery from knee surgery. The doctor said it was good that I had this surgery, because my meniscus was badly torn in two places. He also said they were old tears – so who knows how or when it happened? I’m just grateful he was able to repair it.

It wasn’t a knee replacement; it was arthroscopic surgery. He said I won’t be able to drive for another two to three more weeks. So I’m basically working from home, which is a bit disheartening for me since I was just beginning to make some pastoral visits, as well as getting to the church office a bit more with the opening up after our COVID shutdown!

I am so grateful for Rosemary and Kevin Hart who led our Midweek Worship (POP: Prayers on the Patio) last Wednesday and will lead this coming Wednesday. Also for Shelley Westby who has agreed to lead it on July, 21. I will be leading it on July, 28, and our daughter, Hannah, will be joining us!

Thanks to two members who will be picking me up and bringing me home so that I can record next Thursday, July, 15 at the church!

Your prayers, your lovely cards, the beautiful prayer shawl, and the ways so many of you have “stepped up” during this time, are so appreciated! 

I continue to hold you all in my prayers.

In Christ’s Love,
Pr. Kathryn
