Psalm 116
Thanksgiving for Recovery from Illness
1 I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. 2 Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. 4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: ‘O Lord, I pray, save my life!’
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful. 6 The Lord protects the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. 7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9 I walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 10 I kept my faith, even when I said, ‘I am greatly afflicted’; 11 I said in my consternation, ‘Everyone is a liar.
12 What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me? 13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord, 14 I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.
16 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving-maid. You have loosed my bonds. 17 I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord. 18 I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, 19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
In the afternoon, I had my firt ever meeting with a cardiologist. I am not feeling sick nor have any symptoms of heart problems. Being born with a heart murmur, I have always kept my heart in checked. As I am 60 years old now and our good doctor Dr. Sanders who takes such good check on overall health including my heart is no longer in practice, I think it's time to have a cardiologist. He ordered 2 kinds of tests as my GP Dr. Sanders did 3 years ago. I hope the results will be good as before. Will was told by the doctor, "Your heart is in good health and see you in 6 months."
We went on to the big mall for a walk about. It became tea time and I had double esspresso and Tiramisu for the first time in almost a year. So... very delicious. We walked. Piglet came. We shopped and walked. We all had dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory at 7:15 PM. Oh yes David came too. Then home. Some video chat with family in Myanmar. They were all doing better still and asking me about my doctor's visit. I love my family.
A cople of movies later, we went to bed. God is good. I am grateful.
