Yesterday, Julie got her things ready to go but then we realized that Janet's photos weren't all on the jump drive, so she spent several hours getting them cleaned up and on discs.  Finally at noon she was able to leave. I helped Dad put things in the missile that were on the trailer and then parked the trailer in the garage there.  I went to O'Brien house, vacuumed and got some things for second hand store, but I noticed that the door frame was pulled apart by the door we lock, so I went home and told dad, but he just got there , here he had fallen through the road over by Rosamonds and had to walk to the highway, where Vic gave him a ride, they got it out and now another road is closed,  He said the maintainer that works the roads, went through a road over by Skaars.  We went back to fix door, which was a challenge, and came home.  After eating I spent evening in the yard, it was really 

VERSE:
  But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to
take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the
helper of the fatherless.
   -- Psalm 10:14

THOUGHT:
  Just as God saw the plight of the Israelites in Egypt and heard
their cries for help, he still sees and hears today. But now, he
hears not only because he is omnipotent; he hears also because of
the intercession of his Son and our Savior, Jesus. Jesus has been
here. Jesus has faced the specter of death and the pain of torture
and ridicule. Jesus means God not only hears our cries for help; he
also feels the agony with us. That is why he came. He is our
assurance that God feels, cares, acts, and ultimately saves.

PRAYER:
  God, Father and Savior, please be with those who are bearing the
incredible weight of agony and pain. Some of these I know and pray
for personally. Others I do not know, but they still need your
comfort, strength, and grace to sustain them in their days of agony
and grief. Please bless them with clear evidence of your care. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.beautiful.
