Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.

Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

Looking Ahead

Philippians 3:13,14

But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Some things about our government irritate us at times. The rules they make sometimes seem to do more harm than good. However, many laws that govern health care are to our advantage. It is required that we be informed and we appreciate the information received in the preliminary talks with the Social Worker. Certain benchmarks have to be met for Hu to qualify for different levels of rehab and care. They have been very good at explaining our options.

It appears that Hu will be discharged soon. Some professional care will be provided in the home as far as we know at this time, but the family is expected to perform much of the necessary care. There are many things to consider, so please pray with us as we face and make the decisions. We want to be wise and practical in doing the things that will help Hu regain his strength and coordination.

The verse quoted above is speaking of spiritual perfection. While we are seeking improvement for Hu’s physical strength, we want to be sure that we take care of our spiritual welfare as well. Looking back helps us to mark progress as we move forward, far from those long days spent in intensive care.
