Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying “Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee.”
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.
~E. S. Elliot

Please pray for my dear daughter over these next few weeks. I have made a trip back to the states to be with her. This is part of my reason for being MIA here at the blog. She will be having back surgery December 14th. Prayers for my husband would be appreciated as well. This is our busy season in Japan and we will be apart for the holidays. I am glad that he has family there.

I’m so sorry you and your husband will be separated over the holidays this year. May God give abundant grace to you both as well as your daughter. I hope and pray her back surgery and recovery goes well.
