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.

How much does He care?

Our winter has been lovely, especially since I still have "Panamanian blood" from living there and prefer warm to cold.  As I was taking a short walk this week I was enjoying all the sights and sounds of spring.  The birds happily chirping, green grass, flowers in bloom and a quiet opportunity to reflect.  As much as I enjoyed that special treat from God, I was prompted a few days later to think about Heaven and the beautiful place that God has prepared there.  I think I have a pretty good imagination, but when it comes to Heaven I'm sure I have no idea how wonderful it will be.

How thankful we are for the Lord's continued goodness to Hu each step of the way.  What a comfort to know that He not only created and watches over the sparrows but that He deeply cares for Hu (and everyone) so intimately that every hair on our head is uniquely numbered!

Hu saw his rehab doctor for the first time yesterday since discharge.   Prior to our seeing the doctor, Hu was having his vital signs taken by a nurse who commented that he has a "low tech body in a high tech world."  I thought that really summed up where he is at this point.  Life moves along at a fast rate for everyone, but when Hu's body isn't able to keep up, it makes it challenging.  He is transitioning from a walker to a cane around the house.  The doctor was impressed with his walking ability. 

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.  And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.  Matt. 10:29-31
