At the risk of sounding whiny, I've been hesitant to write a lot this summer. It has been a trying summer to say the least. Through various struggles and difficulties, life goes on. In the midst of trials and tribulations, we're called to remain joyful! Sometimes I wonder why James had to include that in his letter to Christians so many years ago!
Having said that, I was on a phone conversation with Beverly earlier this week and she was telling me she had just completed an e-mail to me and wanted me to pass it along. Some of you may remember some prayer needs she brought to us last spring. Here is an update on some of those needs:
"Back in May of this year I had asked for prayer for a few of my cousins. There was Ricky that was very ill with cancer, and when he received a call from God to come home he was already prepared for that journey and is now resting in the presence of Jesus with no more pain and no more worries. Another cousin, Joe, suffered a heart attack and has also gone home to be with the Lord. The families miss them tremendously, but they are at peace by the assurance that Ricky and Joe are happy and they are at peace.
After all the sad news we have a PRAISE THE LORD! I received information that my cousin Tommy, who had been placed on a top priority list for a heart and kidney transplant (I can hardly type this because of the excitement) NO LONGER NEEDS A HEART TRANSPLANT! The doctors, after extensive testing told him his heart has improved to the point that he can be removed from that list. Praise God! However, he will remain on the top priority list for kidney transplants so please do not remove him from your prayer list. The family continues to covet your continued prayers. As you read this rest assured that God is still in the healing business and “He is still in the Listening business” so we should never fail to pray when someone asks us to do so. Let’s keep on keeping on!"
