Faith

If you have been reading along here, 
you will know that my brother-in-law (my sister's husband) 
is in the hospital with a genetic lung disease. 
* * * 
The last you knew, Tony was dying away in the hospital.  
Tammy was by his side.
* * *
Well, after a lot of activity:
prayer
texting all day-for days
advice
making phone calls
confusion
sweet and precious moments
sorrow
many, many tears
it seems that FAITH has won.

* * *
Tony is still with us.

PRAISE GOD!!
* * *

I know the Doctor is skeptical
and still saying he doesn't have many days left.
But Tony got up out of bed this morning
to use the restroom.

That must have felt WONDERFUL!!

My sister, Tammy, is always singing.
Tony sang with her today
from the hymn book.

We didn't anticipate this.

But, remember,
 God is in control here. 

My sister believes 
Tony is going to leave the hospital and go to a care home.
She simply has faith.
No, not just "faith"
She has a
STRONG.
FAITH.
IN GOD.

AND...
God IS in control here.
I believe he is 
HONORING 
her simple, child-like 
FAITH
in Him.


Tell your friends and family
you love them.
Be a blessing to someone today.

And if you are struggling with
sadness
despair
defeat
frustration
confusion

remember Tammy's
STRONG AND FIRM FAITH IN GOD.

You can have that.

* * *
If life and situations are never going your way...
perhaps you are going in the wrong direction.

The book of Proverbs
 Chapter 3 
verses 5 through 8


Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 
6: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 
7: Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 
8: It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 


Have a wonderful day!!
ENJOY LIFE!!
