We are home finally. Oh!! how glad we all are to be home. We thought we will never get out of MN yesterday. There was a storm and we sat on the run way for almost an hour before we left. Just quiet tired today would rather do nothing all day, but I am sure that will not be the case. Now, just to try and get life back to normal as possible. Kenny, is doing well today just been a little discomfort. He is a very strong child. Continue praying for the healing process he have to be extra careful for the next five weeks.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
ISAIAH 26:3
THOU WILT KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: BECAUSE HE TRUSTETH IN THEE.

Thank you for all your prayers. Our son Kenny is doing wonderful. The surgery was very, very successful. The valve was repaired and the right atrium was reduced. The staff here is just so wonderful. He is doing very well he was moved out of ICU in less than 24 hours after surgery. He is in patient care unit now. He is doing so well. He has been walking a little today and eating a little. He is heading for a good recovery and the time here should be less than what we thought.
God gives Peace
We cancelled our evening service at our church, so we could go hear a guess speaker at a local church. The speaker was at our church this morning and then we had lunch at church and short service afterwards.
My hubby was not feeling well he said he really thought we all should just stay home. Well, I knew in my heart I needed to go. The boys and I went to the church near by actually much closer than our home church. The speaker is a Marine Corp. he is a very going preacher and he can sing with blessed gift and talented voice God bless him with. The message I knew was for me when he started talking about having the Grace to go through things or difficult times God allows in our lives. Yes, I have given it all to the Lord at home with friends and family and really was starting to feel the peace of the Lord. I knew though I needed to just cast this burden at the altar and just leave it there. All I could do was cry. I have always believe God can understand your tears. I told God now I am here and I am leaving all these concerns and these burdens I give to you. I felt a strong assurance of the burdens just lifted. I gave him the praise right there for taking these concerns. Right there I felt just a strong assurance of PEACE.

Job 22:21
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Prayer Request
I have a cousin by marriage name REED on my mother side of the family. He has been a very sick man for over a year now. He needed a kidney transplant and he insisted he waited for someone not in the family. He has been on dialysis now for awhile. He has been getting weaker and weaker. Then this past Friday he received a call and he had to head to WV to get a kidney transplant. Please keep him in your prayers and that his body continues to except this kidney. Mother was talking to my sister in KY on Sunday and she said she felt God presence as she lifted REED name in prayer on Friday. She said it was just like GOD told her I am taking care of him today.
Also, please remember our little man Kenny his surgery is getting very close. We have tried to get him to talk to us about it and he is avoiding the topic. We have not push the issue with him though. Just continue to pray for him. Also, pray that there is availability at the Ronald McDonald house, so we can stay there this sure would be a lot easier on the budget. We have to wait until we get there to check for room availability. Yes, we have made other arrangements with another place to stay if this does not work out.
Ms. Linda at church she just lost her sister on Thursday. Linda just lost her husband a year ago this past January. Her sister was a strong help for Linda when her husband past away and they spend a lot of time together lately. It was just unexpected she fell and hit her head and never recovered.

Why Now God???? But God said Well Why Not??
Faith- That is something hard to stand up to. We have some friends facing trying times in their life her job is being eliminated in fact the entire company in closing in Morristown. She is struggling with the idea of going back to college and not working for awhile. So her faith is being tested. I told her just keep the faith and God will let the next chapter open to what he has in plan.
I like what I heard one time at church- There not trials these are opportunities for Christ.
Even in our own life I just thought WHY!! the old human flesh. God Why now just how do you think we can deal with this now. The answer is you can not but with my hand I will help you through. I even have a hard time asking people for help. I just wish I could do it all myself.
We were given a card this week the words are by Helen Steiner Rice--
At times like these...it is only God who can speak the words that calm the sea, still the wind, and ease the pain, So lean on Him, and you will never walk alone.
This verse was in the card from:
Isaiah 40:31-- But they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
A words from a song I really like- God will make this trial a blessing.
