Well this will be short.Had a wonderful thanksgiving and enjoyed all the company.I have people coming in bringing me good food.Their kindness is immeasurable.I have been blessed and feel like I'am getting Jesus exstension of His hands through these good people. I can't say enough of how much Gary and I both have been blessed. Thanks to all who have been coming in and thanks for the prayers.I know it is what gets me through. I met a young man at OSU clinic a month ago and I had written him.His name is Blake Haxton and he was a Upper Arlington student getting ready to graduate.He contracted a deadly flesh eating disease and almost lost his life.His legs had to be amputated.When I met him I introduced my self him and told him I was praying for him.His response was that is what keeps me going.What an inspiration under such sudden circumstances.Just like mine,but he chose not to be bitter but better.Praising God for his life.Know of a wonderful young man at my church who is another inspiration.He helps me to see past the things that get me down. I'm so blessed by Steven and he helps me when I see him at church.He takes each day and embraces it with Gods grace.I know that because he shines like the love of Christ. I'm greatful know him.I was blessed today by 2 more wonderful people today, Brenda and Billy, came and cleaned my house and she rubbed my feet.I have hard me excepting all the help, but without it ,I would have a hard time.So I'm so greatful to all. I hope to be able to give back someday.......Monday, November 30, 2009

ReplyDeleteIf Blake prays hard enough, will god give back the legs he took?
ReplyDeleteAnd Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22 NAS)
I believe that whoever you are that you are challenging God...God did not take Blakes legs.We are in a fallen world and we are subject to the sickness on this planet.It has given Blake a much better look at his life and yes things are more difficult.Just as Iam struggling, I am learning to overcome some of the difficulties in life.This life is but for a moment and then the judgment.
