When I arrived at this hospital this morning I couldn't believe my eyes. Donna was sitting up in her chair and eating a pudding! I am not sure what time she got out of bed, but she stayed up in the chair until about 12:30 in the afternoon. But wait! There's more. Not only did she sit up in the chair, she did some walking with physical therapy. She walked 150 feet today. But wait! There's more! Not only did she sit up in the chair and walk 150 feet, she ate HOT FOOD today (about 1/2 bowl of tomato soup).
Can you believe this?!? I am amazed, but I shouldn't be. A call for prayer was sent out, all of you responded, and God answered. Why does it amaze so much when God answers our prayers?
Donna has felt great today, for that we send all the praise to God.
All praise rising
All rejoicing
Every hour rise to Thee
All the beauty
All the glory
All thanksgiving give to Thee
All the music
All the singing
All the longing rise to Thee
In the sorrow
And the laughter
All praise rising, rise to Thee
It will rise, will rise to Thee
If there be any peace, any love
If there is any joy
Then let it rise
If there be any good, any just
If there is any grace
Then let it rise
If there be any breath, any sound
If there is any life
Then let it rise, let it rise
Reading those words today just gave me cold chills!
