Monday, Monday

Good morning! I would like to thank each and everyone of you that have stopped by and given me words of encouragement and have been lifting up my family and I in prayer.

I saw a dear sister at church today and she simply edified my Spirit by her kindness of offers of help in any and every way while I am back and forth helping my parents. I would like to give you an update.

Last Wednesday when I took my father to the doctor, we went to see his brother together and found my Uncle Martin awake and in good spirits. I was able to feed him oatmeal and two cups of coffee and get a couple of smiles out of him. The very next day he went into a coma. I arrived to feed him and he was unable to respond to me and the nurse told me he would not be waking up anymore.

When my cousin, Susan, arrived I told her about her Dad and walked her in. She also told me she was able to handle all of this because her father had accepted the Lord just the week before. Praise the Lord.

My father's sister, my Aunt Margaret, went into ICU at the same time and went on a breathing tube for a collapsed lung. She is still in ICU and has undergone surgery and just today they took the breathing tube out of her. It is still touch and go at this point. My father and his brothers and sisters are holding up the best they can.

I am so thankful for the Lord and His Word and the strength He has given me throughout this ordeal. Although, I must confess, today after church all I wanted to do was sleep sleep sleep.

Please forgive my lack of getting to your blogs and commenting. And thank you for your encouragement anyway to me in the lack of my ability to reciprocate.

Psalm 23:2 " He makes me lay down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters"

May the Lord bless you today. Big hugs to you.
