Tonight’s message was from Acts 27 and how Paul, amid all the turmoil of a ship on its way to sinking in the storm, was making sure everyone on the ship had food as he gave thanks. Giving thanks in all things.
There is no change in dad’s condition and the doctor said they really won’t know until sometime next week. He still talks gibberish, thinking he is communicating just fine, and he can not yet swallow.
Here’s what’s happened, thus far, that we are grateful for. Mom has been hesitant to get a sitter for dad to give her at least a little break. Realizing where things are right now she has gotten the information to contact the scheduling lady. This morning she was sitting with dad when the lady showed up at the hospital room (the lady works there as well but mom had not contacted her yet). She asked mom if she had had breakfast and encouraged her to go for a bit. Mom said she could not have been gone that long because she brought her biscuit back with her. She said when she arrived back in the room, dad had been washed, powdered, and was no longer restless but was sleeping soundly.
This gave mom a real sense of relief and she immediately scheduled someone to come in this evening at 7 p.m. and say until 7 a.m. She is going home and get some rest having gone the last 2 days with no sleep.
We praise the Lord for this opportunity and how God moved to get her to make a difficult decision and not have the feeling of abandoning him.
The services are going fine although we are not seeing any movement, I do believe that God is moving within hearts.

Thank you for your continued remembrance.
John
