Life at the Lillie Pad

A couple of quick updates

You may remember me talking about our homeschool support group's ski trip in January. We didn't attend, but one of our fellow homeschooled students had an accident that involved a brain injury. It was a day with very poor visibility and the ski slopes should have known better than to let people ski, but for whatever reason they kept the slopes open and everyone assumed it must be safe.

Ben has a very long road ahead of him. The report from his mom this morning is that he is doing pretty well physically, but mentally he has far, far to go. It's very trying for the whole family. Please pray for this family.

Also, his mom gives this word of caution to other parents: If your child goes skiing, insist that they wear a helmet.

A while back I also mentioned my cousin's mother-in-law, who had a massive brain hemorrhage. She passed away a week ago and the funeral was this weekend. It's definitely a time of pain for the family, but also of rejoicing. She's with Jesus and she was a true Proverbs 31 woman who adored her family and lived for them. She left an incredible legacy that is plain for all the world to see.

Her husband has absolutely amazed me. He buried his wife of 60 years on Saturday, but on Sunday he got up and went to church and today he is fulfilling other church duties as well as attending a ceremony for his grandson who is now an Eagle Scout. You know the strength comes from the Lord, but it's still hard to fathom that someone can be that strong in his darkest hour.

Thanks for praying for these families.
