Sunday Night
Well, the weekend is over, Sunday night now, and Marilou is down for the night.
Saturday we had a pretty quiet day. We did venture out to take a little drive... and It pretty much wore her out, although she enjoyed getting outside and getting some fresh air.
Today we did not get out... her energy level is noticeably less, today she was more wobbly on her feet. I help her get around, and her appetite was very small today.
There are a couple of chairs in the room where her hospital bed is. When she is in the bed sleeping, I will just sit and pray for her. This afternoon, I brought a hymn book and my Bible. I tried singing some of her favorite hymns, and she sang along as best she could. I had more trouble than she did, because it was so hard to see the words through that dang water in my eyes. So I read to her I Corinthians 15, the great passage on resurrection.
I anointed her with oil and prayed for her, asking the Lord to reap the fruit of his shed blood that by his stripes she is healed.
Tonight she only had four spoonfuls of soup and a couple spoons of ice cream. She has been noticeably more tired today. So now she is resting again.
Thanks to everyone who fasted and prayed today. We know that our Lord did not miss one of those prayers. He hears every one. There are times when I contend and speak and claim, and there are the times when I have to say, "Lord, nevertheless, your will be done, not mine." I learned that from someone very close to me. He taught me to pray that because he had to pray that.
Again, thank you to all, around the world who were fasting and praying today. Thank you on behalf of Marilou and our entire family. We pray that the Lord will bless you because you gave in that way.
