Doug and I are so thankful for the support and love that has been shown to us by family and friends through this trying time. We want to share with you our experience.
On Monday night our family received a wonderful blessing from our church family. The pastor, elders, and friends joined Doug and I along with Doug's parents Don and Louise, and our two sons who live in Idaho, Matthew and Adam, our daughter-in-law Kari, and our granddaughter Isabel to pray for Doug's upcoming surgery. To be able to express in words our appreciation, love, and gratitude is beyond words. We were and still are so overwhelmed by this action. It just demonstrated how the Lord continues to go before us preparing the way, bringing fellow believers alongside us to support us and lift us up when we feel like everything is crashing in on us.
On Tuesday morning as Doug was in pre-op before his surgery his nurse, Kim a believer in our Lord asked him if he would like a Chaplin to come and pray with us. Doug told Kim that he didn't need a Chaplin to come pray with him because his church family came and prayed with us the night before and he could feel the Lord's covering and we were girded up in the Armor of the Lord.
Another demonstration of the Lord going before us was the day of surgery. Doug’s support team in the Surgery Waiting Room counted 18 strong with many others throughout the world praying for him due to the prayer chains he has been put on. We are always so humbled to know that individuals who don’t even know us personally come along side us to go before the throne of God on our behalf. Hebrews 4:16
As we continue to travel along this journey the Lord has gone before us, we see how He is taking care of us, and bringing people to support and love us.
What an awesome God we serve!
Linda
