Thank you for posting in the gloom, and working through this WO designed by my 2 year old son! Prayer requests for Eagle & his M, and for Hardcode and his family as they are hosting a girl from Japan for the next 10 weeks. Also prayers for Rapunzel and his son, his son is getting his drivers permit. Prayers for Drawstring and his back. Prayers for Meatball and his shoulder. Also, Care Bear will be going on a youth retreat next week with the youth group from church.
I also want to say how much I appreciate all of you, and the support and prayers for my M and our family. My M had a one-year post surgery MRI this past Wednesday. The neurosurgeon said the MRI looks great, which is great news, but still doesn’t explain all of the pressure/head pain she feels. The hope is that over time, with more PT, stretching, and massage, the muscles in her neck and head will improve and get better. Also, she was cleared to drive again, but she is terrified to start driving again. So prayers for me as I navigate helping her practice driving and getting her comfortable with that again.
Blessings to all of you PAX, and your families. I appreciate all of you guys. Sometimes our kids can be a headache and frustration, but remember how much of a blessing they truly are.
Psalm 127:3-5a
3 Children are a gift from the Lord;
they are a reward from him.
4 Children born to a young man
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
5 How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
Thanks for following my lead!
