When we arrived back in Martinsburg last night - we couldn't wait to stop by and see my parents. They are doing well - and we caught up with them on everything. Mom's eye is just in the purple bruise stage, but healing. Dad seemed well. . . and looked handsome (pam had cut his hair!). We got him up in his chair and they all sat outside with my oldest son Robby and my brother Tim who came in to get dad tucked in later. We headed home to unpack and Robby stayed to watch the Orioles -Yankees game with pap & granny. Dad has therapy this afternoon so when I take him, I am going to ask how they feel he is progressing and give you a report.
During our trip to Virginia Beach, we had the opportunity to attend WAVE church Sunday evening. . . which is our network church. We were blessed by an awesome message from Pastor Steve Kelly as one of his points was to "be patient" and let's God's timing prevail. Never stop believing and asking God for what you want, as long as it lines up with the will of God. So my son Robby couldn't wait to come home and share the message with his pappy. Another point was that it's important to watch what we speak - there is a scripture that says "with the tongue - we can speak life or death". . . we need to make sure in dad's situation that he and everyone that surrounds him continues to speak life. . . always focusing on what we are still believing God to do. . . just because God has not healed dad completely of his paralysis does not mean that it's not in the cards - there is nothing in the Bible that says God's miracles had a certain time frame. In fact, it took Job quite a lot of suffering before God turned his life around and blessed him 2-fold. . . please please please keep the faith with us that in God's time, dad will be fully restored to his former glory. . . as long as we believe it. . .the dream will stay alive and God will hear our prayers!
