What A Mighty God we Serve!

[ropegg]

Dear special friends;

I am scheduled to have complete hip replacement on Valentine's Day so I won't be around for a little while. I will miss the contact with you and look forward to being back as soon as the muscles are strong enough to hold the joint in place. Until then I will be busy working toward that end.

Love and Prayers to all of you, Linda

Linda, my prayers are with you for tomorrow and the time following for your recovery. I have been praying the past few weeks for your family and friends as they have been going through their many struggles. As I am asking God to be with you all during this time I am also asking Him to give you an extra boost to be able to do the things you need to do in getting better. Thanks for your special friendship and God Bless you.

Thinking about you Linda and also praying that things will go smoothly for you. I've met several people, over the years, who have said that they were so glad that they had done this.

You've probably heard the story of the rowboat and I think that there are times when God heals outright and times when He sends "the rowboat". No matter whether He heals us outright or sends us the help, it is an answer to prayer. He has given you the strength to make this decision and I believe He will give you the strength to carry on. Praying that God totally oversees your operation and recovery.

Best wishes,
Toni

God's richest blessings be with you & your family Linda as you have your procedure completed. May God go before you & anoint the doctor's and other team members whom He is entrusting to take care of you. LORD please bless the health team members with wisdom & compassion so that Linda will have a blessed place to receive your healing. LORD we give you thanks in advance for being a God who hears and answers prayers. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The new hip is 2 weeks old today. I graduated from a walker to a cane yesterday. The therapist was impressed with my recovery and put me through my paces this morning and they left me tired, more so than other days. At this rate I should be back to "normal" by mid-April.

Thank you all for the prayers and warm wishes.

Sitting in this chair takes something out of me so won't be here long when I check in.

So glad to hear your progress and since I had ask prayer for you at the church where I go (they are familiar with the church where you used to attend) they will be happy to hear the outcome. The Lord is so good and He will keep helping you.
