The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 126:1-3, “When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion, We were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

3 The LORD has done great things for us; We are glad.”

Sometimes it doesn’t take many words to express how we feel. A simple “Thank you” may at first seem inadequate; yet the earnestness and sincerity of the heart is sufficient to the LORD and to those who know Him.

At what seems like a long time, we have finally returned from Dallas. Actually it was but four days; but those days were so filled with activity, that it seemed much longer. Valarie was valourous in negotiating the horrendous traffic, even in the early, darkened hours. With cars

racing madly as if it were the Oklahoma land grab, she steadily threaded the car through the mele and into the precise lanes, bringing us safely to our intended destination.

Everyone at the hospital was exceedingly congenial and helpful. Even other patients, nurses and office personnel laughed and joked with us, lessening the tension of the time. More important, still, was the attitude of the doctors, who beyond their medical skill were guided by the gracious Hand of the LORD. We witnessed as the occasion allowed, and left the results to

“simmer” within their hearts.

The areas of Nana’s blood loss were found, cauterized and then “covered” with a medication

that preserves the work of the procedure. It will no doubt take some days for Nana to recover her strength completely, but the trauma of the situation has been removed! Indeed, “The LORD has done great things for us. And we are glad!”

We so appreciate your standing with us in prayer and encouragement. We continue to pray for you, knowing that He knows all of our needs and is able to do “exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory…” (Eph. 3:20).

Loving and praying for you all,

Nana & Dado III
