Dad

Yesterday was an extremely rough day for my dad. We were not sure what was going on! What a delight to come in at breakfast time and find Dad feeding himself and actually able to talk. Things he was not able to do yesterday!

Thank you for your prayers!

After breakfast I read some Psalms to him. Then I took an old Hymnal and he and I sang one hymn after another. I looked....he did not have to!!!!!

My sister Marilyn came in later and did some more singing with him. This afternoon my mom did even more singing! Interestingly enough all three of us chose a family favorite, "Estoy Alegre"~"I Am Happy", a chorus we all like to sing in Spanish.

Another favorite all three of us ended out picking was "Heavenly Sunlight" These times of singing seem to delight my dad. Though we could not hear him singing all the words, we could see that he was singing them!

We have been so grateful for all the visits Dad has gotten from Debbie.

She has been faithful to go to my parent's home to bathe my dad for several months. What a blessing she has been.

Thank God for people like Marcia who is always ever so ready to help in our times of need!

We serve an awesome God!

...where we can serve You best

What a day yesterday!

I got over to Mom and Dad's house around 11:30 in the morning. I brought them breakfast from IHOP. We were to have our last breakfast at the house before taking Dad to the hospital.

Dad prayed over the meal.

I had a hard time holding back the tears as he prayed,

"Help us to know what place to go today where we can serve You the best."

He will be such a blessing!

It was a sad day as we spent hours in the hospital getting Dad admitted. So much of his mind is gone. So many statements he made were so confusing to us. He was so confused.

Yet, I cannot EVER forget his wise prayer. I must remember to pray that on a daily basis.!
