There is peace in the valley

This line of a hymn is somewhere in the far recesses of my memory but surfaced this morning in my thoughts.(Perhaps someone can enlighten me more )

This week things have changed for us and I wanted you, our supporters to be aware of where we are.

During last week between the 2 hospital appointments ,when a stent or colostomy were being considered to relieve some of Dave's symtoms , he deteriorated such that by the consultant appt on Friday it was not feasible.
Over the bank holiday week end he became weaker and is now eating very little .A visit from the hospice doctor on Thursday brought better pain relief.

So I return to my opening line -we do feel like we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death -but we fear no evil for we know that our Good Shepherd is with us ( references to Psalm 23)-so we have found peace in the valley.

It was with joy that Peter and Ruth were able to visit this week to bring our latest granddaughter to see us.All of them are thriving which is great.

So the circle of life continues.

We remain grateful for all your continuing prayers for us as a family
