This morning I got a call that changed my day! My friend whose son has been in the hospital (mostly in ICU) since December 3rd called to say he will be going home soon! HOME! I could hear the joy in her voice. When Matt went to the hospital, the doctor told the family that he didn't expect him to live 48 hours. Many times during his stay in the hospital, they had moments when he was close to death. He had multi organ failure.
My friend's faith never wavered. She was very aware that she could lose yet another son, but she was always aware that God's will would be done! More importantly, she trusted God that whatever He chose to do was right.
Prayers started from so many places, and have continued. Even nurses in the hospital were praying and let Linda know they were. She told me that it not only comforted her in dealing with a critically ill child, but it renewed her faith in people. In America. She said that in a time when we hear so much about removing Christ from everything, to know that people worldwide were praying made her realize that there are always people who are faithful to Christ.
Continue the prayers! And thanks from a grateful family and their friends!
But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 13: 5-6

It's great to have some good news today. I've been feeling really out of sorts today with the national stuff going on.
Wonderful news! God hears our every prayer...whether it be eloquent or just a groaning from within. His mercy and goodness is unending. I am so happy for your friends! What a testimony they have!
That really is the best of news. Prayer is a mighty thing. I am so glad to hear the outcome of all of our prayers. I am sure he is most excited about getting home and hope that he will have no permanent damage from his illness.
Now......when does your BIL have surgery on his shoulder. That will be really difficult being a paraplegic and depending so much on his arms. Let the prayers begin!!!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!! Thank Him for answering our prayers.
See how HE has blessed our babies in my blog. GOD IS GOOD.
Thanks for asking Mary....his surgery is the 28th! He'll appreciate your prayers and my sister will for sure!
Great news and continuing prayers...
Have a good night...
Love, Jess
