A Few Blessings from the Lord

We are so thankful for the many ways God has blessed us over the past week. Here are a few of them:

Meals provided by our church family.

Someone cleaned our house.

A young man in our church came over and spent time with David so I could run some errands. Last year this young man lost his father to brain cancer.

Visits by several friends and family members.

The continued prayers & messages of encouragement by so many friends around the world, from North Carolina to England to Senegal, to Australia.

David not having to go to the doctor on Wednesday. When I called and explained our situation to the surgeon he told me not to come in but just to continue with the wound VAC therapy here at home and call him if I needed him.

A visit by my sister and brother-in-law from Georgia.

Seeing Rich, Lydia and the grandchildren for the first time in several weeks. (Lydia is slowly on the mend from mono.)

David being out of bed for several hours on Saturday. Even though he could not get up on his own, my brother-in-law got David up and to the den to spend some time with our family. This was the first time David has gotten out of bed since we came home over two weeks ago.

David being awake and alert and enjoying all of our visitors this week. He was able to share with several of our friends and family that he has no fear of dying but a great expectation and excitement about seeing Jesus. He has quoted Romans 8:18 & 19 each time he has shared. I’ve shared these verses on the blog before, but I leave you with them again.

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.”

We thank God for His daily care. His blessings are more numerous than we can possibly know.
