Answers to Prayer

Trent's surgery was three and a half weeks ago. He is doing well. He is finally able to go without having ice on his foot 24 hours a day and having Tylenol every six hours. Thank the Lord for that! Maybe I will be able to sleep all night now. Really though, I am thankful that he is such a good patient!

Next week he should be able to start putting a little weight on the heel of his foot (of course only with his special boot/shoe that the doctor gave him).

I am thankful for what God is doing in the lives of one of our sons. He is going through some hard times in his life and yet I see him drawing closer to God. I have lived enough years to know that hard times will either make us or break us. We can either run from God or run to Him. How much wiser it is to run to Him. Our God is a merciful and loving God!

I am looking forward to planting some annual flowers this week. Two years ago one of our sons and his wife planted some perennials. They are doing well, but one is doing exceptionally well. I love to look out the window and see the beauty of those flowers and remember the love that was shown when they planted those for me as a Mother's Day present.

Another son and his wife are looking forward to the time they get their child from China. It is really a waiting game, but we know that God has a child just for them.

Our only daughter is always busy. Besides working, she is going to school to get her RN degree. She also keeps busy going to the activities of her two youngest sons.

As for us....there is never a dull moment! We are continually seeking any information we can get from anyone who can give us any ideas about starting Special Needs Family Homes.

Have a good day! If the sun is shining, get out and enjoy one of God's gifts to us!
