Our Sweet Pa-Paw

Please pray for Pa-Paw's present health issues. For one, his pacemaker had to be "bumped" this week, as his heart was not outputting like it should. Once again, we are reminded of the blessing of Pa-Paw's presence yet still with us. I was very concerned when Nathan and I went to help my parents prepare for Christmas and clean up the sheds. My Dad didn't look very well and even walked with so much effort...and in so much pain. Pray for wisdom for the doctor as he looks for the cause of all the pain, neck stiffness, and fatigue. It was a blessing to be able to help them out, but also cause for reflection on their health. How we need to pray for them each and every day and thank the Lord they are still here... The cardiologist had told me a year ago that Dad is on "borrowed time" that he was able to help give to Dad. Please take every opportunity to write to him, call him, and spend time as you can just "being" with Dad. He loves his family so much and has sacrificed for all of us. Reflect on your relationship with this sweet man and pray for him as he ages, as well as Mother, too.

Love to you all~
