I plan to post an update on my blog. I talked to her last night and she was quite happy. Don't want to be too graphic in my description, but her doctor was working on her wound and was able to make it bleed. He was quite pleased about that, because that means there is now some blood flow. = ) She goes back in two weeks. The nurse will still be coming each day to clean, check and redress the wound. The doctors final words to her were "for now...NO surgery!" Please keep praying. I was actually able to say to her "That sounds like answered prayer to me!" And she agreed! (Previously, if you would say, "I'm praying for you!" she would say something like "I don't need your prayers." This alone is an answer to prayer. Thank you so much, Mary. I can't express how much I appreciate your prayer and concern. <BR/><BR/>I LOVED reading the story you had posted about the yellow feather. Beautiful. I often struggle with fear, and I know it sometimes holds me back. I've been trying more than ever this year to give that over to the Lord. This visual image will stay with me. Thank you. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you, new friend. = )Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158977330746847962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953339438040008669.post-16348746657385037682008-06-27T19:48:00.000-05:002008-06-27T19:48:00.000-05:00Oh Mary!

We were discussing a cousin making dream catchers and he said it is against the law to use real bird feathers in making them. And I said what if you just find one on the ground and you wanted to use it on a card or something? And he said, no it is against the law.<BR/><BR/>So a long time later, I found one on the ground. I stuck it in an envelope and sent it to him with no return address and nothing inside to let him know where it came from. <BR/><BR/> He showed it to my daughter and she laughed and said, I bet it is from mama. And he said, I should write up a ticket and put it in an envelope and mail it to her...LOL But he didn't...<BR/><BR/>So that is my silly story!ancient onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996555276368371467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953339438040008669.post-38065412387594180662008-06-26T13:05:00.000-05:002008-06-26T13:05:00.000-05:00This was a thought provoking post.

I had morphine which sends me into another world and both times I was given demoral for pain which stopped my breathing immediately, but somehow through the "crash team" I suppose, God brought me back. I have a closer walk with Him than before and have learned to put things in His hands rather than carry fears and burdens.<BR/>May God continue to bless you,<BR/>AliceE.From the Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612517670775886165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953339438040008669.post-51095818781491013172008-06-24T22:49:00.000-05:002008-06-24T22:49:00.000-05:00Mary, thanks for stopping by twice!!
