Dear Friends, Here is an update I received this morning concerning little Amina. "Amina's surgery was completed at about 12:15 PM CST, and she is doing great! Her fingers and toes are "pinking up" nicely. Dr. Christian, her surgeon, said she's very pleased with how it went. We all expected a much longer surgery, so God's power and wisdom was obviously with everyone involved. Now is the time for prayers of thanksgiving and for Amenah's steady recovery. She will be in the hospital about 10 days, and then in Nashville for about another 6 weeks. God is always good!" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ On a bitter sweet note, Darren's grandfather, Arthur, went to his eternal home yesterday. God gave him 89 wonderful years on this earth and he was lucid to the very end. His body had been rapidly failing over the past year, however, so this was not a surprise. I do ask you to pray for his dear wife, Helen, of 65+ years who will wake up today without him by her side. Through the loving dedication of their children, both were/are able to stay at home. Helen is currently going through chemotherapy for Lung Cancer and naturally weakened by it's effects. Both Arthur and Helen have been examples of two souls resting in Christ and seeking to honor Him in all the seasons of life. We're so thankful for the legacy they leave with us all. Darren is trying to fly out this evening for the funeral and then turning right around to return to assist with a week-long General officer's visit. I'd covet your prayers for traveling mercies for him and the stamina required for such a crazy period of time. "No rest for the weary and the righteous don't need none", right;) Lovingly and ever thankful for your prayers, Maggie |
