Personal Events do Happen ~






My sweet husband Larry is in the Philippines. While on a missions trip, he became ill and had emergency, life saving surgery. He is still in Makati Medical In Makati, Manilla Philippines and receiving good care from the staff, as well as being ministered to from the believers at Bethany Baptist Church of Makati. The current healing progress is good, and he hopes to be released from the hospital on Monday, March 2. Because of the seriousness of the surgery, the 16 hr. flight home, etc, the drs. are unwilling to release Larry to return home before 3/21, a month post-surgery.
 

Through all of the events, we see God's providential hand. How can we not continue to trust Him for the unanswered questions to come? I miss my beloved terribly, but God is providing comfort to he and I both through the love and prayers of you all, and those hugs are pretty special, too :-}
 

"This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:23,24

"Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory..."
Ephesians 3:20,21a


Thank you dear ones! love, Pokey

  8. Pokey, my heart and prayers go out to both of you. I can't imagine the stress of going thru this, with him so far away from home. I do so hope he has a quick recovery and will soon be home. While I don't have hands on experience, I do understand that there are wonderful doctors and nurses in the Phillipines and I so hope he is getting the best care.
