The Awesome Power of Prayer!

Just wanted to pop in and let you all know how great the power of prayer is...

Not only has Mimi moved out of ICU, she is steadily regaining strength, appetite, and vigor. For the time being, she is in the Skilled Nursing Unit, where she will receive some therapy. The last time I saw her was yesterday, and she looked much better! I was told that she even sat up and was eating by herself! Even better, she looks more like herself, and words come easier to her. Yes, she still struggles to think of names or details, but has still improved by leaps and bounds, all things considered!

During yesterday's visit, I spent about five to ten minutes with it being just her and me. We had a meaningful conversation about life, death, and God, among other things. It soothed my soul greatly to hold her hand, and chat with her.

I am so thankful that God has delivered her from this ailment thus far, and I have faith that He will not disappoint us in delivering His will, whatever it may be. Mimi has told me multiple times how thankful she is for all the prayers everyone has offered up for her, and how she loves everyone for thinking of her in her time of need. I can promise you that any prayers that have been/will be offered up her, will be reciprocated with prayers of blessing from Mimi!

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I will hope in him.' The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him." Lamentations 3:22-25 (NRSV)
