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!

Thanks for keeping us updated, Jim. I am rejoicing with y'all and continuing to pray for Dan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day it is today. To know that others are praying for Dan and for a quick recovery. The Lord heard all of our prayers and now we can pray for Dan to continue heal and head out to minister to others about God's Love. Today in my devotion, I read about Paul and Timothy, who were bondservants of Christ (Phil. 1:1). Even though so many of others may never meet it is nice to know that God has bestowed on us to be His children and to pray for each other. We all face trials and struggles, as we face our economy issues, let us pray that others will see His great glory and reach out to Him. It is through these trials and hardships the Lord's love can be accepted by others. I pray for all of you to have brothers sisters of kindred spirit around you, to help you through your daily struggles. I pray that you continue to witness to others and to have full confidence of the Lord's love for you.
