One Hundred And Eighteen Days After Surgery

Debbie is feeling well after her sixth chemotherapy treatment last Wednesday. She is scheduled for a CAT scan this coming Thursday and visit with our Doctor on Thursday about his recommendations for treatment in the future.

Please pray for a good report from the CAT scan. The best report would be there are no visible tumors. Please pray for us to make wise decisions regarding further treatment. Pray for our whole family to know God’s peace.

Please pray for our daughter Grace. Grace is 18 and tomorrow she is having knee surgery on her right knee. She torn the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and the ligament needs to be replaced. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Our good friend Dr. Warren Low will perform the surgery at the Oklahoma Surgery Center. Her recovery time is projected to be about six months.

Please pray for Grace’s knee to be healed and restored. Please pray for a perfect surgery. Please pray for Grace to be encouraged in the Lord as she deals with this new adversity.

If we have faith in God, adversity is our friend and our ally. If we are guilty of unbelief, adversity is our enemy. Reality is not determined by our circumstances. Reality is determined by our perception of our circumstances. If we have faith in God, we can see our circumstances from His perception and be encouraged. If we do not have faith, we only see our circumstances from our limited perception and we will be discouraged. Each day and each moment of each day we have an opportunity to choose what perception we will have about our circumstances. Jesus stands at the door of our hearts and knocks. His desire is to help us see our circumstances from God’s perception. We must open the door and commune with Jesus to gain God’s perception. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ provides eternal life. But is also provides a view of life from God’s perspective that can lift us up during the most difficult seasons of life. We hope that you know Jesus. He wants to give you His heavenly view!

Eph 2:4-6
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
