Good report and Pictures of the Grandchildren

Just an update from my visit to the specialist at U of M.

My doctor from U of M went over the test results with us on Wednesday, Jan. 16th…..and Praise God the disease appears to be limited to my hands/arms, feet/legs.
That is very good news!... which means my internal organs are not compromised! She also said that my blood work was within normal range, and that the x-rays were normal too! We are truly celebrating this report….and we want to thank everyone for praying!
Although she said the disease in incurable, she is quite confident that with the treathment I am receiving, progress will be slowed….and hopefully put to a stand still! We are deeply grateful for our family, friends, and church family for your prayer support, phone calls, love encouragement! God is good! Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord".

Now....for your viewing pleasure.........Our grand-daughters....

I'm going to share with you something that Pastor Bart and Debbie sent.

A NEWBORN'S CONVERSATION WITH GOD

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small And helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.' The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.' Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.' 'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and Will teach you how to pray.' 'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means Risking their life.' 'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I Will always be next to you.' At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but Voices from Earth could be heard. The child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.' God said, You will simply call her, 'Mom.' Lift a mother's spirit; send this to every mother you know (no matter how old her child is). But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen! 2 Peter 3:1-13
