Hi from Jerusalem. Tuesday morning I spoke with the manager of Christ Church about a place for Art’s ashes. I have been going everyday to a lovely. small, stone walled in “Prayer Garden,” (old trees, bright flowers, quiet and peaceful, with little places to sit and pray) attached to this Old Church (perfect). She gave me the permission to do so. I was able to spread his ashes around the garden. I am so at peace. I thanked the Lord and had communion there in “Art’s” garden. Talk about a kindness of the Lord and a Divine Appt., the day before I spread Art’s ashes, some of the Swedish youth group spent the entire day cleaning, weeding, and making the garden even more beautiful. Thank you for your prayers for the Lord’s leading. Had breakfast with the C.S. Lewis actor and his wife, found out we know a number of the same people (because of Campus Crusade for Christ). Later in the day, I went into the new part of Jerusalem (Christian bookstore) to buy some things for my “show and tell” when I get back home. While there, we started to hear police sirens (dozens) coming past us from everywhere. We found out that two Moslem boys stabbed a security officer not more than a block from us. One of the boys was shot and wounded but both were caught. This answers why, after calling the rental company about the trouble with my phone and them saying that they would deliver a new one to me from Tel Aviv, UNTIL they found out that I was staying in the Old City. They said that they were not allowed by their company to come here right now. However, I feel perfectly safe (but I also do not do anything stupid, either). This afternoon I was able to spend more than two hours having hot chocolate and speaking with one of the Christ Church ministries’ Board members who just “happened” to arrive from Canada, for their yearly Board meeting. They are here to discuss expanding their scope in Israel. I found out that they have hospitals, schools, technical works, guest houses around the country, etc. Really an amazing ministry. I have decided that part of BHI’s monthly tithe will help with this wonderful ministry. (So many Divine Appts. and Divine protection today.) Church bells are ringing all over the city, it 6:pm. Blessings. D
The Lord gave me the perfect place for Art’s ashes..
