My brother and my daughters, yesterday. |
Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? -Jesus (John 11:40)
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always... (John 11:41b-42a.)
My brother has been unwell for many years. (I thought 8; he says 9.) 12 days ago he was transported via ambulance to an ER in Knoxville, Tennessee because he couldn't move his arms and legs. Since then, his potassium level has been restored (ending the paralysis), and he has undergone surgery--in Baltimore, Maryland!--to have a nerve stimulator inserted into his back. He will have another surgery within the next few days but was released to drive to me (near Richmond, Virginia) over the weekend. He feels better than he has in a long time. My entire family has the sense that we are living a miracle.
The verses above are from my very favorite story in the Bible: that of Lazarus's resurrection.
Praying tonight for his complete healing. Hallelujah to the God of miracles! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm rejoicing with you and expecting good reports for full recovery.

ReplyDeletesuch awesomeness! Thank you God!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a blessing when we and ours are healed. And He's SO KIND!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
I am glad that he was well enough to travel to you..that probably did him a lot of good in light of everything. SO cool to see him with the kids and I hope as well the next surgery goes well.
ReplyDeletesorry i could not break away and meet you all when you were near.
What a beautiful, praiseful photo! Seeing them play gives me joy. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a small world we live in. I pray for your brother that he will be able to live a healthy life with the help of the surgery and other help from the doctors. Yes, Good News clubs are all over the world. It is interesting that the place the Bible was first removed from schools 50 years ago was a certain elementary school and the city of Baltimore, Maryland. I thought those who might read my blog would find that interesting too!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photo and praise God for your family's miracle. I'll put your brother on my prayer list!
