Friday, December 19th

Today has been Dennis' best day yet!  God continues to amaze us with his healing power.  What a miracle I see every day in Dennis.  He has been up most of the day, restless, but doing well.  He wanted to paint the entryway for me and get up on a step stool to fix the outside Christmas lights! He desires so much to take care of his family.  Of course, we brought him in from the garage and took the step stool out of his hands!  He is so sweet, but very difficult to keep down.  I guess that is a good sign though.  He is still having trouble with headaches, but we are able to control his pain and nausea with medicines.  We actually got to stay in all day, and he was able to rest well.  This evening, Santa came down the street, and Dennis wanted to go outside and wave to him.  He wondered if Santa would give him a lump of coal or a gift on Christmas morning.  I wondered too! :)

With each new day, I am thankful to God for his love and protection on our lives and for giving my precious husband and father back to us.  How blessed we are to be able to once again tell him how much he means to us and how special he is.  Wow!  Be thankful this Christmas for the loved ones in your life and take the time to let them know how important they are to you.  We have been reminded all too well, how, in the blink of an eye, a life or lives can be forever altered.  

We talked today about our deepened desires to share the love of Jesus and his forgiveness with people who do not yet know or understand what it means to be in a personal relationship with God.  He is our Sustainer, Deliverer, Healer, Provider, Comforter, and He alone is in complete control of our lives.  There is no greater place that we want to be than in the perfect will of God.    We are excited to get back to serving the Lord with all of our hearts, and we know that day will soon be coming again.  Pray for us as we head in that direction.

Tomorrow, we visit the doctor for another check-up.  Please continue to pray for healing in Dennis' body and that he will be patient to wait upon the Lord.  It is difficult to keep a good man down!  I can't say I can blame him!  The attack occurred two weeks ago tomorrow.  God has brought such miraculous healing, but he still has more healing to be done.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.  We love you all!
Mendy

    Dear Mendy,
    You're so correct in that lives can be altered in the blink of an eye. I learned that personally in 1995 when my husband at the time, Joe, left for work one Sunday morning and was killed in a car accident less than 10 minutes and not even 10 miles from home. That changed my life forever, but God is so good because He brought Pascual into my life. That lesson makes me thankful for every day of life that God gives to not only me, but my loved ones as well. And this year, with the economy, I think it is being emphasized in the general public as well. We may not have a lot, but God is watching over us and He is in control.
    God bless you all.

    In Christ,
    Denise

    What a stinker! Already on the go, wanting to work around the house! God is so good! You and you whole family are in our prayers, along with hundreds, if not thousands, of others. Keep on having a great attitude - it goes so far in situations like this. We can all learn from your examples...

    Hugs,
    Lindsay
