ANSWERED PRAY & A GIFT TO REMIND ME TO PRAY FOR KENYA
We are rejoicing and praise God for the good report we got on our dear friend and brother in Christ, Jack. His quadruple heart by-pass surgery this morning went very smoothly. In fact the Dr. found less heart damage than he had feared.
I want to thank the 22 blog prayer warriors who left comments and were praying for both Jack and Mary. They came by last night after church to leave their dog, Baron, with us to take care of for the week since Mary is staying in Oklahoma City with Jack. When they came in I pulled up my blog and read all the wonderful comments that the 22 of you had left. They were very touched to know people literally all over were praying for him.
I also want to thank the ones of you today who left comments asking how it had gone.
We are just all so thankful.

Dawn, Call Me Grandma Dawn, had a drawing for her 300th post of a lovely pair of Elephant earrings that her son had gotten for her in Kenya. Her little granddaughter, Care Bear, wrote out the names on slips of papers and then drew my name, which she had spelled Soosen. How cute is that?!!!! You can read about it here.
The package with this lovely earrings arrive in the mail today, along with the cute card (which I cut the top off in my photo) reading Thanks for being my friend.
Thank you so much Dawn for giving away such a wonderful gift and thank you Care Bear for drawing Soosen's name.
I will wear them not only with delight but with pride as I tell everyone that they are from Kenya and remind them, and myself, to pray for this country and the people who are suffering so.
I am humbled and blessed with the love that is show in blogland on a daily basis.

Thank you so much for coming by my place today--and while I was away. I appreciate your sweet, supportive comments. I don't know what the future will bring, but I'm sure the Lord does.
I've been missing out--Trying to read a little to catch up. Trees, elephant earrings, etc. You've been busy! I would have been hiding while the trees were coming down. That kind of activity makes me nervous! :-)
I will be praying for your friend Jack. Hope you are enjoying your dog-sitting duties! Now, that's being a true friend!
Thanks be to God! Praise His Name!
I think Soosen is really cute.
Prayers for your friend and may he be getting stronger each day with GOD's help.

Hubby and Son 1 cut some down this fall and I was a wreck.

My husband and daughter went to Nairobi, Kenya. It was a graduation gift for our daughter to go with her dad who was speaking at a pastor's conf. It was life-changing for her.
