Tis a Wonderful Day in the Kingdom!


I’m so thankful and grateful for your prayers for Danny! You are good and Godly men to remember and include him in your prayers. Thank you!


They (and all the prayers of others) were indeed graciously answered yesterday. Our older sister and brother-in-law drew the hospital and recovery duties. At 11:30 a.m., our time, Dan had just been taken off the mechanical pump; perhaps 90 minutes later, he was buttoned up and in ICU.

It was a triple bypass, and the surgeon was able to repair the damaged valve. He told my sister that, apparently, Danny had had a heart attack at some time in the past! I hope to speak and pray with him tomorrow; or if not then, on Sunday.

Our God is really so great!

We get to keep my brother with us for a while longer. He gets to serve God some more here. He gets to know Him better before he is called home. Our family is spared grief and mourning; instead, we can put that energy and more into praising God.


Yes!

What a great day it is in the Kingdom!
