God had been good. Mom emailed me early this morning her gratitude again for the work we did at her house yesterday and to let me know she had a good night. We talked around noon and I was a little worried that she was faking a good day. Todd went over and hooked up the water line for the new fridge and helped Ken get some stuff at Lowe's.
After I got stuff done around the house I packed up Haidyn and we went by mom's on the way to trunk or treat at church. The Bird's were there dropping off food for them and mom was asleep. After about 5 minutes of Haidyn's bottle mom walked in the room with a big smile. She was having a great day. I was so relieved to see how well she feeling and getting around. After she ate she came and got Haidyn from me to finish her bottle with her so I could eat. We got Haidyn dressed together in her pumpkin costume. Mom loved our little pumpkin and that she got a sneak peak at her costume with her own pictures last night.
I got to give Tricia a hug tonight at church for sitting with my mom. She said she did great yesterday. We have such a loving and supportive church family that it is hard to ever get down around that kind of encouragement. Throughout all of this my prayers and reading have increased. I found a verse today that comforted me.
2 Samuel 22:31-33 "As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a sheild for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect." Our family has sought refuge from this fear in God and he is our Rock. He has a perfect plan for us all. God is holding us in the palm of his hand strengthening us through this battle every day.
Thank you so much for the prayers, comments and love. The stack of new cards in the mail box today was again amazing. Mom taught me to be a card writer so it is nice to see her getting so many cards in return.

ReplyDeleteJoan, you and Ken were with us last week each and every day. As soon as I walked in the door I started reading your news. Looks like some prayers have already been answered. Remember don't tell God how big your problem is, tell your problem how big your God is!! Love you and you know I am only a phone call away! pi
ReplyDeleteJoan, so glad to hear the first days were bearable. That is so much better than unbearable. =-)
ReplyDeleteSunday AM, we prayed for you in the K class. Our lesson was about David and Goliath. We talked about how our battles belong to The LORD and a verse we tried to learn was from Psalm 56:3
"When I am afraid, I will trust in you". Remember this verse whenever your "goliath" tries to get the best of your spirit- The Battle Belongs To The LORD!
Love you dear friend, Leslie <><
