An Anchor in Glory

Good Evening,
I hope you all enjoyed your Sunday! As I’m sure all of you who live close noticed we woke up this morning after last night’s electrical storm to vibrant green! In Sam’s words, “It was breathtaking!” Our pasture turned from barren earth suffused with faint flushes of green to proliferate, reverberating life! Daddy explained to us how the old farmers talk about storms; you can water your crops over and over again but nothing gives them a burst of growth so well as an electrical storm. And then they surmise what exactly the electricity does to effect the growth.
For myself, such storms bring about a deep, firm renewed conviction that God is near; obviously near and I am conscious of His everlasting arms beneath, His sovereignty and with what infinite care and tenderness He protects us, His children.
He has made us wonderfully aware of His presence these last few weeks as we have needed it so much. Mama’s mother, Laurie Rees has been in the hospital for the last week with a broken leg, breathing difficulty and other issues. Thankfully, Mama and some of us have been able to drive up and be with her several times and we are praying for peace for Grandma, relief from discomfort and protection in the hospital from sickness.
We also learned on Wednesday that Charlie’s scaffoid bone in his wrist was indeed broken in the accident. He will have surgery on April 29 involving bone grafting to correct the injury and then hopefully if all goes well it will heal in the next three months.
On a more joyful note, just today Mama’s radiation burns are beginning to heal! Of course they grew worse and were not at all pleasant but she has been so diligent in taking care of and dressing them they are finally healing. She has so much to heal from but continues to be strengthened by God and is selfless in her care of all of us. As I have said before, your prayers and encouragement are a great joy and comfort to us. May Jesus richly bless you and afford us opportunities to be a blessing to you as you have to us.
With Love,
Aubrey for all the Lenz’s

“Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; He makes grass grow on the hills. He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.” Psalm 147:7-11
