Thank you, @turtletwo

What a blessing this is!  Jodi Erickson's life has touched mine, through her testimony, since way back in my teens, and now on this spring day, with the sun shining on the flowers blooming in the garden, has touched me again, through your entry of this video clip this morning.  I thank God for her life and witness, and thank Him for giving her the strength, and the means of fulfilling all that He had for her, to the glory of His grace, and His superintending care.

* My thoughts were with you, turtletwo, this morning, when I wrote down these thoughts on paper

You and I have been greatly blessed,
through sunshine and shadow.
By a gracious Heavenly Father's hand,
with showers of blessing and the comfort of
the warmth of the knowledge of His love and grace.

With a mind filled with words of praise,
for such superintending grace,
and a heart warmed by the knowledge
of the security and enveloping love
which attends each passing day.

Praise God!

With love in Christ Jesus

Chris

@Christine Thank you so much. What a wonderful surprise to discover this sweet message from you! I love the beautiful, uplifting words you wrote down this morning. I am truly touched by it. It is bringing me comfort at a time I really need it. I also praise God that the video by Joni was a blessing to you.

I noted her mention of it taking her 3 months to draw this picture of her father.
That is because for years now she has drawn all of her artwork with pencils and paint brushes between her teeth.

Talk about patience that the Lord has brought into her life! And what a testimony towards her Savior Jesus Christ!

Great testimony on Joni's life too in 1979 movie called "Joni" if some here have not seen it.
After breaking her neck in a diving accident in 1967, the movie shows how the Lord guided and comforted Joni through her rough time in therapy as she adjusted to life as a quadriplegic. Her testimony continues to reach out to the lost in our generation today including many with disabilities.
