Nice Quiet time with God, prayers and reading in the morning. Catching up with family in Myanmar on video chat also. They are still sick and my heart got filled up with worries. Psalm 121 came to my mind and heart. I lift up my eyes to the hills- from where will my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from thim on and foreevermore. Amen. This Psalm has become my prayer. I told my family there to make it their prayer for them also.

Grocery, Will- ordered came around 11:00 A.M. So, I made chicken and sausage Gumbo for lunch. Ziri worked from home today. Will was reading. We had a good lunch together as Ziri's new dinning table also arrived this morning. In the evening, we went to the Indian town - part of Chicago, located a little bit out of downtown within Cicago city limit. So fun. We poked in and out of the clothing shops. No one has anything big enough for me. We ate dinner at the Oberoi Restaurant. Very delicious muslim food we ate. We each ate the "non veg tali." Vege pakora and samosa for appertizer. Such fun we had. We did a little bit of grocery shopping too. We brought home lots of leftovers.

Home. We communicated wtih family in Myanmar. Chatted and cryed with Nutei. More prayers said for family in Myanmar - in our eveneing devotional. We sat quietly for a bit and then Will, went to bed as Ziri and I watched "Emily in Paris." It watched us at times, mostly we watched it.

God is great. I thank God for keeping my family - all of them alive. I am counting on God's love, grace and fatihfulness as I give thanks to God.
