Corrie Mae Stanley was born Friday, September 24 at 6:21 am in Marietta, Georgia. Kinsey, Jordan, Owen, and Keightley are doing great… as are Susu and Opa. There is nothing like a new baby to remind us of our great God and all that is important.
Another bit of good news is that the chemotherapy I’ve been assigned by my doctors is proving effective. I have completed two rounds, and the blood counts which measure the cancer have shrunk to normal levels. As in the past, the plan is to stay with what is working as long as I can. Low blood and platelet counts are still a challenge; I receive infusions a couple of times a week. Susan and I appreciate your prayers.
Paul told the Christians at Corinth that as we think deeply about God’s glory, we are changed into the image of the Son. In our busy lives, it is important to take the time to contemplate His magnificence. God, who is rich in mercy, sent His only Son to seek and save the lost, and we are rescued by His amazing grace.
May we be able to clearly see the Lord as He is… and respond with worship and thanksgiving . God’s Word reveals His majesty, as does the universe, the earth, and the tiny fingers of a newborn baby.
‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.’ (Doxology by Thomas Ken)
‘But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.’
II Corinthians 3:16-18
