August 16 morning

Hi everybody. This is Chris wanting to thank the friends from First Baptist in PG for the flowers, fruit basket, and cards .... and most of all for your continuing prayers. Terry K. stopped by the house where we're staying this morning and made the personal delivery.
We've seen Robert this morning (Jen and Tom are with him now). He said he had a rough night and right now is in an awful lot of pain. The nurse said she would see about getting him something else as the morphine just isn't cutting it.
We have yet to see a Doctor to get their take on how things went yesterday or what the prognosis is.
The three of us had a good night's sleep and are feeling more able to cope this morning. Pray and keep on praying for us that we will honour God in the way that we deal with this trauma. And again, thankyou so much for your prayers for Robert.

Chris

We praise God for your rest, and your ability through him, to cope. We pray that Robert would recover quickly, that there would be no infection or any other complication.
Amen

Continually think of you in your time of need. I pray that Robert's pain will be managed better and that healing will begin quickly. I pray also for patience for the waiting you are enduring before you find out the results of the surgery. May God continue to grant you peace and strength. In Jesus name Amen. Robert - Hang on to God. Tom - Hang on to your sense of humor. Chris - I wish I was there to give you a great big hug. Love to you all. Angeline

“Praise God from whom all blessings flow”...Chris I was just praying through each entry when I noticed you post today’s! "GOD's grace is sufficient for us unto this day" the song Jehovah Jirah is ringing in my heart...I am encouraged to hear your peace amidst this storm….so evident in your remark,” Pray and keep on praying for us that we will honor God in the way that we deal with this trauma.” I anticipate, in faith, your testimonies of "miraculous" moments during this growth spurt. I pray that as GOD continues to build you Chris, Tom, Jen and Robert through songs, dreams and visions in the truth of His word for the building of your faith, in the assurance of GOD’s ‘HUGE’ love for each of you. GOD’s covenant promises that HE has perfect purpose in all things, for all who are in relationship with Him. In Jesus name, Amen. In His Majesty’s Service, D.M.
