This is not much of an update for Seth other than he had a a couple busy, hard days therapies. Even something we think is simple like sitting on the edge of a mat or in a therapy where he has to recall people, places or things can be exhausting. We definitely look forward to rest periods!
Yesterday was our first granddaughter’s third heavenly birthday. I bring it up in Seth’s update because it’s a reminder of why we have hope in Jesus for both earthly miracles and heavenly promises.
I remember June 19th, Seth’s and my first day arriving at Craig Hospital via ambulance after a difficult MedAir flight. They whisked him away to his room to be assessed while I stayed back to sign paperwork. As I walked through the hall, I cried because of his condition but I also cried because there was hope that this was the place to get the help he needed. I was sad but overwhelmingly hopeful at the same time.
Many of you may be praying fervently for your own health or the health of a family member or friend- who was marvelously created to be made whole again. We understand how powerful prayer is and everyday is a healing day- cell by cell.
Many of you may be praying for some comfort and strength to get through yet another day without your amazing person. God hears you and loves you!
Have you ever sat through a sermon where the pastor talks about the pain and suffering in this world and you understand what that is about? Life is devastating and sad and tough and a lot of work, but God said there is also a overwhelming amount of hope to come, so that is something for us to trust in.
One day, we may get to ask Jesus himself some questions about this life filled with struggles and heartache but it’s likely not going to matter too much when we are together with those we love once again.
Specific prayers today for our friend, Hailey, who is having surgery on Wednesday for Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome, where the artery is compressing her intestine. It is a complicated surgery to move the intestine and bypass the compression but pray that it is successful and that it allows her to eventually start eating a little more. God’s got you, Hailey!
Happy heavenly birthday, Annalise. Jesus loves you but you already know that.
