"By the 19th Century, mourning behaviour in England had developed into a complex set of rules. Women wore heavy, black clothing, and heavy veils of black crepe. The ensemble was known as "widow's weed's (from the Old English "Waed" meaning "garment". At the beginning of our marriage, Neal and I dreamed about how our marriage would be: where we would live and what we would do. God has been faithful to make that dream come true.

THAT HAPPY DAY WHEN NEAL CAME HOME, DECEMBER 26
FROM OUR ELDER BRUCE CLARK:
Ruby,
I know this is not the Christmas you would have planned. You have been on my mind all day. I've been praying for peace for you & now I know why. May you have the peace that only Christ can give.
You'll never know what your emails have meant to me. Your faith & trust in the Lord has been nothing short of beautiful. They have been a blessing to me & I suspect to many others.
You can reach me ANYTIME if you need me.
Our crew here just had prayer for you.
I'll talk later.
Bruce (& Kayren)

“There is none like the God of Israel who rides the heavens to your help,
And through the skies in His majesty.
The eternal God is a dwelling place,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
And He drove out the enemy before you,
And said, “Destroy!””
Deuteronomy 33:26-27 -------
NEAL HAD A WONDERFUL TRANSITION FROM HOSPITAL TO HOME ON MONDAY. WE SET UP HIS BED IN OUR DEN/STUDY SO HE CAN DIRECT ME AS I WORK ON THE COMPUTER. COVENANT HOSPICE HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. NEAL IS SO HAPPY TO BE AT HOME AND I’M BLISSFUL. GOD HAS BEEN SO GRACIOUS TO US – GIVING US STRENGTH AND PEACE MOMENT BY MOMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS. WE FEEL WE’RE SURROUNDED BY GOD’S GRACE AND LOVE.
