challenges

Challenges of various types have hit us from every direction (it seems) and yet are proving to be opportunities to see GOD and share HIS love. The main thing about our challenges is that we are helpless to do anything but call out to GOD and wait for HIM to work.

One of the hardest challenges was my grandson-Zachary 2yrs. taking off his casts. Here is set 4 of casts for Zachary since his feet were amputated August 25th 2010 (yep 10 days ago) as you can see they are bright green. Yes we are tired and at times challenged but praising the LORD for little evidences of HIS care and provision.

Yesterday AM my son in law had a flat when he arrived to work... Praise the LORD, what if that had happened when they were speeding down the highway trying to get Zack to Denver or when Shirley was driving alone with the kids? We don't even try to figure out why the challenges have hit but just look to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and are seeing HIM everywhere.

Nothing so far keeps Zack down for long. He may get a bit grouchy and say ouchie or pout for a few but soon he is smiling and off. Richard put snug pjs with feet on him and he cant get them off. Of course someone is with him constantly after his houdini tricks. Therefore I plan to stay up there all next week, his daddy and sisters are home til Tuesday so I will go up then.

Yesterday afternoon after a long day, when I told him goodby, he crawled military style (like when they go under a fence) to his wheelchair. Pulled himself to a standing position then reached higher and pulled himself onto the chair on to his belly, then he grabbed hold of the chairs arms lifted himself up and turned and was sitting in his chair. He is undaunted... like usual, GOD knew how to design this little one according to HIS purposes for the boy. Shirley is talking about putting him in gymnastics.

We thank each of you for your prayers and ask that you not stop praying yet.... with Zack we need all the special coverage we can get ...
