Hi to you this quiet Sunday afternoon. iT IS DREARY and rainy,which i love for a sunday.
A real welcome after a dramatic week !!!! We could have had some funerals this week.
But the verse in Psalms" He gives His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways, They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone, has new meaning, after this week.
On Sunday my two married sisters, and families and us here at home had a picnic at the park.
On Mon and Tues. I was at the Ronald Mcdonald house taking care of some of Paul Millers children. Paul Miller is my bro.-in-law Johnny's bro.
Paul's daughter Ashley got hit by a line drive in softball. She was third baseman. It hit her on the side of her face. Broke her gum bone and nose. She had severe nose bleeds& ended up being in the hospital for at least a week. Their 2 yr. old has type 1 diabetes, so has to have insulin shots at least 5 times a day. So I went to help with him and also the others because none of them are 18 yet, and you have to be 18 to be in charge at the Ronald McDonald house.
On Wed. Two of their little girls were staying at my sis. Miriam's place, and were on the four wheeler with my 8 yr.old niece ,who was getting ready to drive,her knee hit the throttle& the four wheeler turned over. They were hurt but no broken bones. My sis Miriam saw it happen. Thankfully the oldest girl grabbed her sister and they jumped out of the way.
Then on Thurs. eve. Benjamin ,Sis Miriam's youngest got bit by a copperhead. He was in the hospital overnight.
but thankfully he didn't have enough venom to be fatal. He can't walk ,His whole leg hurts,his foot is swollen and blue. And there is a blister on the toe that got bit. We learned that a copperhead bite actually isn't fataL.
On thurs. afternoon Dad went over to the neighbors and fell down he was knocked unconsious for a little, He has a colorful eye right now.
God is good all the time!!!!
Next Tues. I'm planning to go to Honduras for a month, to deliver babies at a clinic in guaimaca.

wow, when it rains it POURS!! I did not know that a copperhead bite is'nt fatal, hmm, what are you supposed to do for it, or just stick it out? and I'd heard about Ashley from Joann Coblentz, and am wondering if her nose bleeds are doing any better? my heart gos out to them, that's too much drama for any one to have!!
I would say you had quite a week, but thankfully no funerals! We had 4 funerals in my family in 5 years (two were 6 weeks apart) and by the time we had the last one almost had the feeling like this will never end. That was in 2003, and thankfully we haven't had any more. But God has blessed us with weddings and babies! But even in the midst of death we knew God's presence was with us, and that is such a blessing, to feel that and know that he cares deeply about us. I know that when we go through trials, God gives us the strength to deal with it.
aaaaaaaaaa....TAKE ME WITH YOU???!!
Sounds like you had an eventful week...
Praise God they're all ok!
