Callie had a good, uneventful night. She is completely off all medications.
Callie is not out of the woods yet. So Tom and I want you to continue to pray for complete healing. We are on the Lord’s time table not ours, so please be consistent and steadfast thru prayer and meditation.
Thanks so much for your prayers.
Love, Frances

Why?
WHILE APPEARING ON a panel with other bereaved parents, I was surprised at how much I learned by listening…
We were there to help a group of ministers help the grieving, but we ended up learning from one another.
One mom, who had lost her infant daughter to meningitis, shared a simple truth that touched me. She related that as she tried to work through the huge question of “Why?” she spoke to her dad about it. He told her that a better question to ask is “Who?” He explained that she may never know why her daughter was taken so early, but the help she needed most would come from pursuing who God is in this tragic situation.
Think of what this means to us in our difficulties. When we face unexpected grief and ask “Who?” we thus answer: “The Father of mercies and God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3). When we face a period of weakness, we discover that “the LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer” (Psm. 18:2). When the ungodliness of this world seems overwhelming, we can know that the “God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Rom. 16:20). When “Why, God?” is on your heart, ask instead, “Who are You, God?” Then seek Him in His Word. (Dave Branon)
“Lord, all my desire is before You;
and my sighing is not hidden from You.”
~Psm. 38:9~
