Dear family and friends, far and near, we praise the Lord
for this Lord's evening, the last day of January. I am writing you around 9pm in Boston. Many
of you have known that I'm in Boston, going for surgery tomorrow. The surgery
is scheduled for 8:30 in the morning. The surgeon will perform surgery on my
spine to remove a tumor. Thank you for fervently praying and trusting the Lord
for his marvelous healing and restoration. We attended the worship service this
morning and came home blessed. We've been spending time together with Janice
and her family, and Jessy and her family who have come to be with us. It has
been a warm, sunny day in Boston, compared to last year when the city was
paralyzed by snow for days and days. Yesterday I was walking with our grandchildren
in a local park around 11:30am and two robins flew by and came fluttering and
gliding before us. When I first saw them, I couldn't believe my eyes. Usually
the robins we see in NY are in March. Robins are the harbingers of Spring here
and every time, after the long winter, my first sighting of the robins makes me
joyful and jubilant. When I saw robins flying unhurriedly and I heard the
spring birds singing in the trees, I was lifted up. The Lord gives a sign of
great hope before my surgery and I felt assured and loved and blessed.
Thank you again each one of you and every one of you.
Many of you have written expressing your love and offering prayers. Thank you
for praying fervently and with boldness and confidence. May the Lord bless all of us. Now I will both
lay me down and sleep in peace, for you alone O Lord makes me dwell in
safety.Praise the Lord that we serve under a captain who has never lost a
battle.
In His grace and faithfulness,
Brown
