Today as I was reading my devotions to Hu a verse in Psalms stood out to me.
Psalm 79:13
The Message (MSG)
13 Then we, your people, the ones you love and care for, will thank you over and over and over. We'll tell everyone we meet how wonderful you are, how praiseworthy you are!
This morning as I was walking down the long hall to the Intensive Care Unit I was reminded of one of my daughters-in-law, who is posting something she is thankful for every day this month on Facebook. Although I haven’t mastered the art of using Facebook, the idea did prompt me to think about what I am thankful for today. I wanted to share some of the things that have come to my mind.
· Jesus who died for me and rose from the grave so that I know I have eternal life
· Hu, who has been the love of my life for the last 45 years, and his heart's desire that his surgery experience “glorify Christ”
· My children and their wives who are standing with us during this difficult time—each has assumed a different role during this difficult family time
· Our eight grandchildren who have been praying for Abuelo/Ye ye
· Extended family members and friends who have been available all time of the day and night to help with unique tasks in any way they can
· The numerous doctors and nurses that have been involved in Hu’s care (including the one that put a warm blanket around my shoulders as I read our devotions to him this morning), who so willingly keep us informed of his treatment
· You, our friend who have encouraged us by your prayers and numerous acts of kindness
· Technology that allows us to keep in touch and share updates with you (and our sons that have made this happen for us)
My prayer requests for today are:
· That Hu's heart which has been weakened by the surgeries will strengthen so that it will help to keep other functions on a normal level
· That the medical personnel can see through us that no matter what happens in this life, it is eternity that counts
Love,
Sherril
