Kathy, thank you for your kind words!  I was gone for a month, and it
seemed like a year!  The Lord has shown me that the only respite or rest
that I need is found in Him alone!!  There has been much going on in my
life that I was allowing to frustrate, depress, tire me physically and
emotionally.  I wanted it all to be done with, to get finished, so I could
know peace once again.  The lesson God has taught me is that the only real
peace is that which He alone gives.  And with that peace, comes strength
and stamina, patience and acceptance, no matter what are my
circumstances.  The circumstances in my life have not changed in the past
month, but my attitude toward them has changed.  All that to say this:  As
I take my rest in Jesus, there is no more need to take a respite from the
edifying and precious fellowship that I find in this place, with all of you.

Love and hugs,
Helen
