all kinds of healings

Last week when Jim was in the hospital, one of our pastors came and visited him and prayed with him. He invited the elders to come and pray for Jim. Last night another of our pastors and about 6 elders came over. I stayed outside praying and working in the yard, while they confessed sin, prayed over Jim and annointed him with oil. They prayed for me in the yard after they left. This really blessed us and healed a part of our hearts that has been hurting since we aren't really able to connect with the church we love that much any more.

Also yesterday, a friend from church brought us a chicken dinner. This was healing, too. Another arm of God, reaching down to love us.

The day before, my nephew cut some of the grass. My brother in law came and moved woods, gutters, and a few other things. And my sister, well, forget that...she has and would do anything. And later a different nephew came and cut the rest of the grass. He also sprayed my basement walls for mold. Many more arms of God reaching down to love us and to heal our hurting hearts.

A sister-in-love went on the lookout for a shower chair (another thing insurance doesn't cover). She, too, would do anything we asked. More love, more healing.

That same day, our brother came and fixed the awning and the rest of some leftover work from the new roof they put on for us. More love, more healing.

and I could go on and on and on. Until Jim is healed of this disease, either on this side of heaven or that side of heaven, it is really really true. He will never forsake us. And I'm reminded again that He uses His people to show us. So, we have seen his arms and hands and love this week.

Thank you family and friends. Thank you Jesus.

Now, about that healing...

We love you Lord
Gloria
