A Good Day for Rest

Not much happened today medically or otherwise with the exception of one very exciting thing, but I’ll get to that in a moment. Andy is steadily doing better and those of us who are fortunate enough to witness the healing power of a wonderful God are certainly blessed.

Many nurses are truly amazed at the speed of his recovery and have commented about Andy’s continued progress. Of course, we attribute that to much prayer, praise & worship to our mighty God. For example, there are a number of CD’s from which we have the choice to play softly in the room, but the one that gets played with automated repetition is a worship CD by Phillips, Craig & Dean. It has a way of permeating the hospital room with an awesome holy presence, especially during the nighttime hours.

Now regarding prayers being answered, here is something that I trust will richly bless you. Tonight a special visitor stopped by Andy’s room to give us a praise report. Can you guess who that might be? Yep, it was Sheree, Andy’s nurse from a few nights ago. She made a special trip to let us know that her husband has already agreed to go to a drug rehabilitation center and get free from drugs. Hopefully, he’ll find a good Christian rehab center that will emphasize the spoken Word.

Do you know of a Christian rehab in the Lakeland/Tampa Bay area? If so, please make a post to let us know where it is and we’ll pass the information on to Sheree.

Immediately after she left the room, I asked Andy one question, “How did that make you feel being used by God to touch her life?” He thought it was pretty neat.

Well, I believe more people are coming and when they do, I pray we’ll be ready to speak a perfect word in season into their life in Jesus name.
