Your witness for the Lord is wonderful. Our family has been going through constant trials for almost two years. We just keep praising Him for what He is doing in our lives and for us. Our unsaved family members don&#39;t get it. We told them we can get bitter or better and we choose the latter. Why let it steal your joy? Right? We continue praying and our church is, too. And one of the churches we went to in Washington, too.Sharihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16656482657146819996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575917257746789555.post-13542129404729361252009-12-29T20:16:50.442-06:002009-12-29T20:16:50.442-06:00Your walk of faith is so amazing to a watching world.<br />Praying God&#39;s continued grace and strength over you.<br />Love and hugs and prayers,<br />DebiDebihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10863709840858888617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575917257746789555.post-80524846280058178162009-12-29T20:07:28.894-06:002009-12-29T20:07:28.894-06:00Thank you for updating us. Its a privilege to present your burdens to our Saviour. Its a blessing for your friends to serve as well. It ministers to them. Please communicate your needs to them and allow them to bless you.<br />For Garrett&#39;s discomfort, I was surprised when I had surgery how the narcotics didn&#39;t do anything but make me feel awful. The morning nurse suggested something that was on my chart but no one had thought to give me. Now I discuss Toradol with my physicians whenever myself or family members have surgery. Its non narcotic and often overlooked for stronger meds. I am not trying to give medical advice so discussing with his doctor may help. Also (certainly not least) if you can play worshipful music in the room to help him meditate on things other than discomfort. Sometimes it can take our minds off the pain.<br />Continuing to pray for you all.Hopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09082191275070224847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575917257746789555.post-47569585189156777862009-12-29T20:06:44.066-06:002009-12-29T20:06:44.066-06:00Gpd os good. all the time. so thankful He is meeting your family. again.<br />continuing to pray!purejoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07095975148508760030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575917257746789555.post-6541864166335813632009-12-29T19:58:51.256-06:002009-12-29T19:58:51.256-06:00Wow that&#39;s alot to take on in such a short time but praise God he&#39;s getting you through it.I lost my father 3 uncles and my aunt in 9 months and it&#39;s been emotionally draining but the more trials that come along the more I feel that I can lean on and trust in the Lord for comfort.
