Greetings:
Praise the Lord! Marty is having another good day. Her discomfort level has been pretty low and she has only had to take one pain pill. Her numbers are good, but it does appear that she is retaining some fluids. She is already on Lasix by mouth daily and the doctor ordered some TED hose this morning for her legs The surgery site is healing nicely, perhaps still a little swollen, but not as discolored or painful. It is where the J-P drain comes out that is causing some discomfort. Her neck and shoulder have also been causing her discomfort today, but perhaps not as bad as in the past. It seems like the biggest problem is still the tiredness. She is still feeling a lot of that, but then again they wake her up at 4 or 5 in the morning for blood draws and vital signs. This is pretty early. Sometimes, she can go back to sleep and sometimes she can’t. This morning was one of those times that she didn’t, so, she make up for it with a nap this afternoon. The first three or so days after surgery, when she was using the Incentive Spirometer, to help keep the lungs clear, she felt like there was something in her lungs that needed to come up and sometimes she did cough and bring it up. But, today that is all cleared up – PRAISE THE LORD! God is in charge and God is good because God is love and loves us all!
I received an email from a friend today that highlighted Psalm 55:22 with a Prayer Story, which I am not going to reprint here (however some day it may be in a sermon or newsletter) but, I want to call the verse to your attention. The verse reads: “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Awesome verse! Another example of how the biblical writers understood that God was AND IS right there to help us when times are hard and seem so impossible. So often we hear and say, “Why did God let this happen to me?” and/or “Where is God in all of this?” Again, I would suggest, especially based on this verse that; God is right there to help us when we are really ready to let Him; that is when are ready to truly cast our burden or burdens on Him and let Him sustain us. In other words, we must put God as the first priority in our lives and listen to His guidance and leading. That is not always easy for us because we want to be independent and we are taught that when we are “strong” we can handle things ourselves. What a shame that we have this promise from God that when we do that, He will never allow anything to move us from His side. God will always be in our presence and He will be our guide and protector IN ALL SITUATIONS. Praise and thanks be to God!
We will miss being in our community of faith tomorrow morning, but we certainly hope that you will not miss the opportunity to be in yours. And as you do worship and praise God, I hope you will thank Him for the blessing He has placed on you this past week, and most certainly for His grace and healing that He has given to Marty this past week. Have a positive experience with your fellow believers and your God.
Have a positive evening, and glorify God to the highest tomorrow – Go Colts and God bless!
Marty and Jack
