TGIF

Today has been good. They have taken out the drain tube and half of her staples.  She still has the feeding tube, but is not on a steady flow from it right now.  She was able to eat some cream of wheat today.  They will probably feed her through the feed tube tonight.  We will also be going through training for taking care of the feed tube.  Lord willing she will be coming home tomorrow morning.

Today's devotions included the reading of Psa 32:7-11  For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude  (8)  The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.  (9)  Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control."  (10)  Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.  (11)  So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey Him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!

(NLT)

We truly do rejoice in our wonderful God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

SOME PRAISES

We had put out a plea for a lift chair before coming up here and the O'Donnells graciously loaned us one.  The next problem was transportation for it and God worked that out through Gordon Linder who traded me vehicles for the week.  The chair fit into his van beautifully.  That trade became a double blessing.  Dad's car and our car both sit low to the gound and would be difficult for Mom to get in and out of.  Gordon's van is the perfect height for her to slide into easily.  Also, our gas has been provided for on this trip.  

David Ihms filled in for us last week at the Bible study and this week Don Burris did so. 

And so many of you are praying and sending cards.  We do so appreciate all of you.

We praise God for each of you.
