A Surprise


In an interesting turn of events, I spent the better part of last week in a hospital bed. I now have a new fear and appreciation for the mighty ameoba. That, along with a UTI, fever and sinusitis made for a pretty tired and exhausted me. I'm home from the hospital now with some meds in hand and a new lease on life. I experienced first hand how intricately a body is knit together- how when a couple little things go wrong it can make a person really, really unhealthy.
Thank you Lord for health and strength, and for Your grace provided right when I needed it.
The girls bought me some roses and sent me a little note, signed by each of them. It was so precious.

Ready to go home after four days!

I wish I could have at least come up to the hospital and visited, or taken your family a meal, or better yet, brought the girls to my house, BUT the best of all has happened, the Lord has given you your health back and we are so thankful for that--for you--for HIM!

I'm glad you're home again! Do you have to pay for a hospital stay out of pocket there or how are those kinds of things handled in that country?
