I’m writing today simply to give thanks to God and to all who’ve prayed for my son.
My son underwent heart surgery yesterday and though it was more complex than anticipated, it was successful!
There is a small chance of recurrence, but if that doesn’t happen within six months, he is cured.
Deo gratias!
Peace.
may peace always be with you and your family. I am so very glad that everything went well with your son hiddenlives.
Thank you, sailor.
We continue to pray and hope – and for now allow ourselves to dance inside with joy.
Peace.
What a relief for you and your family! Now we must pray that there will be no reoccurrence of this problem. I join you in praising our merciful God.
Ohh, thank you Gayle for sharing my joy and for your prayers!
As I replied to another generous soul, I have lived through times of great tragedy when the reply to my prayers was other than what I had asked – only to recognize later that the deluge of grace, blessings, and lessons were no less a merciful answer. I was as prepared for that as I could be – knowing that we would all be given what we needed – but I am humbled by the mercy that allowed this cup to pass us by.
Peace.
Oh, the grace of God in our lives!
Thanks,HL for taking this moment to share
what is surely gratitude and relief.
During such a crisis, we know in whose hands
to give. I am with you in prayer and spirit, as we prepare for Easter and its meaning. Peace always dear heart.

Ahh, Sue! Thank you for your support and the time and strength it took to comment here.
You’re so right, in any crisis, in any storm, we know in Whose hands we belong. Whatever His reply to our pleadings, there is always grace, strength, lessons and blessed invitation to draw closer.
May this Holy Week and all weeks find you in His peace.
I hope the best recovery for your son. I found you
through 4 Walls and a View. I come to Blogs because
I have had ME/CFS for 25 years and often feel very
lonely. Finding peace and balance is a challenge.
Simple answers also a challenge. Seeing my roommate
carry on a normally healthy life while I remain at home
without ending up feeling sad is a challenge. Living
with chronic illness it is a challenge. But finding others
with the same feelings and struggles is comforting.
You share your faith so beautifully. I’m confused
as to how my name, addy, came up so automatically.
I’m not very computer literate. But coming to CFS
blogs is one way I feel less alone. Patricia
I’m glad you found your way here, Patricia. Thank you for taking your time and strength to leave this comment for me to find!
You’re right, watching others go about living normal lives is sometimes very hard to take. If ever I permanently stop feeling at least a pinch when those things come up, I’ll know I’ve been given true peace of heart.
Finding others who understand has been a great blessing for me, too.
You are very kind in accepting my attempts to share my faith, I do it poorly. I feel the need to add to my joyful accounting of it in this post by saying that I have also lived through times of great tragedy when the answers were not what I’d asked – only to recognize later (and by grace, sometimes during!) the immensity of graces, blessings, and lessons offered even then. So, I am convinced by experience that God always answers even when the storms seem beyond endurance.
As to how your name, etc., came up automatically, I cannot say without knowing more but cookies (those pesky little tracker critters) abound. If you are concerned about protecting your identity be sure to investigate (or have someone you trust do it) your browser security settings.
I am glad if coming here helped you feel less alone; having you visit does that for me, too.
Peace.
God Bless you all!
Who could ask for more than that?
Peace.
Praise God!

Thank you, mo.
Peace.
I second that Mo!
Praise God and thank you for the many blessings you gave in caring for our good friend’s son!
Fingers crossed. I’m glad the surgery went well. 🙂
Thank you cinderkeys!
May this find you having one of the better days 🙂
Peace.
