She'll Be Home For Christmas!

At least those are the plans for now. The doctors will be releasing her from the hospital on Monday or Tuesday when the first round of antibiotics will be completed. Gentamycin is a powerful antibiotic that must be monitered carefully. So far, so good. All of the family has confessed that last weekend we did not think Linda would be going home - it did not look like she would make it. PRAISE THE LORD - it appears she will be home for Christmas! Well, even if our fears last weekend had been fully realized, she would be HOME for Christmas. What a blessing to know the Savior Whose birthday we will soon celebrate!

As I have already mentioned, Linda has been a bit blue these past few days. It is most likely the medicine, but the long arduous journey is beginning to weigh on her. Scripture lifts her spirits considerably. Would you please pray for God's grace to overwhelm her? Also, please pray that she will keep her nights and days straight.

Your many expressions of love continue to encourage us - it is one of God's ways of sustaining us. May God give you opportunities during this Advent season to share the good news of Jesus' sacrifice with those who do not know Him.
