Normal routine call this morning at the usual time. Mom seemed to be doing fine. Snickers and Popcorn visited her later today and she seemed more confused and slept most of the time they were there and Popcorn worked on getting her chair repaired. Mom doesn't initiate any conversations but will respond as YOU make mention of things to her. I remember one time when I called her and "Firecracker" was there. She mentioned it and sounded like it really made her day.

HIM
Dr. S. D. Gordon tells of an old Christian woman whose age began to tell on her memory. She had once known much of the Bible by heart. Eventually only one precious verse stayed with her, "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." (2Tim.1:12) By and by part of that slipped away and she would quietly repeat, "That which I have committed unto Him." At last, as she hovered on the borderland between this and the spirit world, her loved ones noticed her lips moving. They bent down to see if she needed anything. She was repeating over and over to herself the one word of the text she remembered, "Him, Him, Him." She had lost the whole Bible but one word, but she HAD the whole Bible IN that one word! AMEN!
