So, today we start the journey...Dad has surgery to place dialysis access. We are entering unchartered territory and pray for God's guidance for everyone who will touch Dad today...the nurses, anesthesists, and Dr. Drummond...may God guide all their hands.
I can't help but think about family this morning and how blessed we truly are, as a family entire. Because of Mom and Dad there are five of us and, through us, they gained more sons and daughters, nine grandchildren and seven marriages adding two more grandsons and five granddaughters...and it continues with nine+3/4 greatgrandchildren...each of us healthy and loved beyond measure!
By name, you are: Gail & Alf, Joshua, Jennifer, Ashlyn & Jax, Jarrod, Blair, Noah & Grey; Steven & Vicki, Sunni, Ed, Sloan & Kate, Jacki, James & Stetson, Chase, Rosie & Liam; Jerry & Gail, Adam, Haley, Barrett & (coming soon) Jace, Heath & Andrea; Robin & Amy; Holly, Troy & Brandon...and these names, every one of these names, are placed before God by Mom and Dad every single day.
So...especially today, WE pray for the head of our family, and know that God has great plans for his life and has made it possible for him to have treatment so he can live and continue to serve Him and to love Mama and his family well.
You are loved...Daddy, Paw, Granddad, GiDa, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
You are loved...Mama, Maw, Grandma, GiGi, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.

I thank God for YOU, Holly, as it is obvious that He is guiding your thoughts and spirit along with Mom and Dad’s – THANK YOU (sounds so EMPTY compared to what I feel) for ALL you do!!
I am indeed lifting Dad and Mom up as always, but especially throughout this glorious day that God has given us! It is interesting that, since I will not be with Dad and Mom this afternoon, I will be with a group of men in my Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) that just “happen to be meeting early” today @ 5:30 pm, instead of 7 pm, for “fellowship and sharing” - and we (and Gail as well) will be praying for all you mentioned.
Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart … (because He DESIRES OUR hearts!!!)
