Good morning, friends. Stewart's mom and sister came in last night, which has brought a sense of relief to me. They have taken up the slack and just to hear them working in the kitchen or pouring a cup of coffee has brought a sense of normal to my heart. I know that they will be strong hands for me.
Stew wasn't able to lead worship today, which was the original plan, but decided to allow someone else to take that over for us early this morning. I am grateful that the Lord has provided so many people to fill in the many gaps that Stewart fills so effortlessly...I don't think a wife could appreicate a husband more. Thank you church family for marching on and doing what needs to be done.
Yesterday was also a time of intense prayer as family joined us in prayer. For the first time since Friday I can breathe. And even eat a little. And hope a lot. I want to share the many ways we have been comforted by Scripture, but will have to find time to do that.
We have our first hospital appt. in the morning to do the pre-op paper work. Tuesday he is admitted at 6:00 a.m. 2 days of testing followed by Thursday morning surgery.
More later. Have a blessed day!

As I was worshipping Jesus this morning I was singing a song that I began to just claim over you...the words go as follows...Our God Saves, Our God Saves, there is hope in your name, mourning turns to songs of praise, our God saves, our God saves...in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, in the name of the Spirit Lord we come, we gather together to lift up your name to call our Savior to fall on your grace...hear the joyful sound of our offering as your saints bow down as your people sing, we will rise with you lifted on your wings and the world will SEE that Our God saves.
ReplyDeleteAs I sang it I thought about you and Stewart...the world is just beginning to See that Our God saves through your lives. I love you.
This came to me this morning I wanted to share with you: "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." Is. 61:1-3

Love you guys,
