Marge Couture, Sept 2001

Got your new newsletter. Thanks! I feel like I should be an expert on discouragement by now. However just this week I came home from a doctor's appointment with only a half pound weight lost after what I thought was a good week. I think I even made the Nurse Practioner Jean, that has been so helpful to me, feel discouraged.

I sat down to my breakfast and as I was thanking God for the provision, I started to thank him for the 1/2 pound lost, for my blood pressure being down to normal, that I'm not out of breath when I walk, that my knees are not painful, etc. I experienced a "SUDDENLY!” I no longer felt discouraged. Now I can't wait to go back next week and uplift Jean's spirits!
