Prayer is an amazing gift from God. We can pray anytime, anywhere, no matter what the circumstances are. Many of you have prayed consistently for Hu and our other family members. We have experienced peace and encouragement as a result of your prayers.
I was thinking back today of times and places I have been when I have prayed. Driving my car, at the hospital, taking a walk, with friends, with family, in my devotion time with the Lord and of course, endless other places. Intercession for others is a real privilege. Actually, probably the miracle of prayer is not where or how we pray but that the Lord hears each one. That is such a blessing.
Our weather in Charlotte has been beautiful lately. Sunday afternoon it was so pretty that we decided to make a quick trip to one of the local parks. My mother was going with us, and I was not sure how I was going to manage walking with two people at different speeds. However, Hu told me that he was going to walk around the loop in the area where we stopped. Although that was a first for him to go "solo" outdoors since he had been hospitalized, he seemed confident that he could do it. Mother and I took a little walk and next thing I know I noticed that Hu had taken the longer of the two loops. I must admit that I felt a bit helpless if he fell because he was so far away, but he seemed to be enjoying this new freedom. He continues to work out at the gym for a short while two days a week and feels that it is increasing his strength.
Thank you for continuing to pray for Hu and our family. God hears you!
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -- 1 Thessalonians 4:16
