Psalm 103:20
Praise the Lord, you angels,
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
listening for each of his commands.
21
Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
who serve him and do his will!
22
Praise the Lord, everything he has created,
everything in all his kingdom.
Let all that I am praise the Lord.

Praise God that He will never be "dethroned"
PSALMS 2:1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
PSALMS 2:2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying,
PSALMS 2:3 “Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
PSALMS 2:4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

We serve a Mighty God. There's no one like Him. When I'm feeling frustrated or depressed he makes me happy. When I feel lonely he reminds that he will never leave me . I'm so glad to be a child of the Most High God. Psalm 107:1-2 says Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.

Many have lost loved ones who have gone well before what we consider their time should be. I know I have. God has taken me to His words on this matter by way of His wonderful Prophet, Isaiah. Here is what is taught on this matter.
Isa 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Our Father's goodness and wisdom is infinite, and His care is ever so personal, for you, for me, and for all whom He calls to His bosom. His ways are marvelous, and He is worthy to be praised from the rising of the sun to the setting thereof. Blessed be the Lord, God, amen.

Right after John came home, we were inundated with in-home care people (therapists and a nurse) and doctor appointments, but he also wanted teeth. (They were all removed through surgery after he got his new heart valve to protect it.) So we scheduled an appointment with the dentist.
The biggest obstacle was the steps. John has trouble getting up to our second floor still, so facing eight steps to get to the dentist office was the biggest problem -- until I learned they had a wheelchair lift.
Getting good dentures takes 4-5 visits before the teeth are ready and then as many visits as needed to make sure they fit right.
July 6 -- He used the lift in his wheelchair.
July 13 -- We parked across the street (the size of an alley) and he took the lift in his walker.
July 20 -- We parked across a street wide enough for six lanes, he took his walker, and went up the lift.
July 27 -- Well? The lift broke the day before and the repair people needed a part, so it wasn't going to be fixed for a week. Plus we were having a 10-day heat wave and the Democrats were in town (three blocks away.) John asked to schedule it the next day.
July 28 -- He took his cane and climbed those steps.
The staff was shocked. lol
Also, our goal has been to walk around the block as a way to exercise once John can walk that far. He's been able to walk down the long side of our block and back for a while now, but that heatwave made it dangerous to push himself.
Two days ago, he asked if I minded walking down the block with him on our Sabbath Rest Day and I laughed. Walking around the block was always a leisurely walk in my mind. Something like a short date. So, I get his long-distant walker out front. (The long-distant walker has a seat so he can sit when tired.) He asked me to bring the debit card.
Instead of going down the long-side of the black, we head to our local Rite-Aid, which is two short-blocks away. (Two short-blocks is one long-side.) We got there, roamed the aisles, bought a couple of things, and then went to the park across the street. We were planning on walking to that park after gaining the strength to get around the block. He just upped the time schedule by two months.
Honestly? Until our that last trip to the dentist, I thought John was never going to get back to his old self, once more even healthier than he was. I couldn't see the forest because of the tree right in front of me.
But God really is making him get better faster than expected... even faster that I expect!
Thank you, Lord.
