Dear John and Doves,

How effective all of our prayers are ! Jim's surgery went very well, in fact it was over in 4 hours, rather than six.
 
Jim is already showing excellent vital signs and will be leaving ICU either Thursday or Friday-- whenever the Doctor says. Jim feels good, except for the slits in the upper leg, and the incision in his chest.
"It only hurts when I laugh", he says.

But the love and prayers of God's family surrounds us each day.. from the Doves, our neighbors and friends.
What strength and power there is in prayer. We are watching a fast-forward healing with our own eyes.

Peggy wrote me and told of what a blessed opportunity this is for me to share the Lord with other families in the waiting rooms. Thank you for that encouragement Peggy. I now find myself praying in a circle with family members for their love ones in ICU. I used to be too shy to do that, but God gives us boldness as we come before His throne.

Perhaps this medical incident came about so that some anonymous person could believe in a miracle-working God.
"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever."

And Sweetly Broken , thank you for your prayer support at this time. We continue to keep your loved ones in prayer.

And thank you Sonchild for your message on Healing. It is good.

Healing -- the signature of God.
Please keep Jim in your prayers until he is back home. Healing is, many times, on a daily basis..
May the Lord bless each and everyone of you. We appreciate you so.
