Lacey’s baby has not been born yet: maybe today.

Aunt Eva’s hip surgery went well, but she had complications after surgery and was taken to ICU.  According to the last information I had last night, the doctors were to install a temporary pacemaker last night and a permanent one today.

I called the nurse to come check Momma a day earlier than scheduled.  After checking Momma’s vitals, she sent us to the ER.  Momma is dehydrated and possibly has a UTI.  We got her into a room at midnight.  Please pray for her, and us, today.

Thought for the Day – In Our Father’s Arms

Great Truths About Life That Little Children Have Learned (author unknown)

* No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats.

* When your Mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush your hair.

* If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.

* Never ask your 3-year-old brother to hold a tomato.

* You can’t trust dogs to watch your food.

* Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot.

* Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

* Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a tic tac.

* Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time.

* School lunches stick to the wall.

* You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

* Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
No matter how cute the underwear is.

* The best place to be when you are sad is in Mommy’s or Daddy’s lap.

Pretty good advice, huh? For a child, there is no place for comfort that compares with the lap of a parent. But what about when you grow older and no longer fit in their lap?

“There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides through the skies to help you, who rides on the clouds in his majesty. The everlasting God is your place of safety, and his arms will hold you up forever.” (Deut. 32:25-26a, NCV)

The best place for a Christian to be when he is sad is in his Father’s arms. May those of you who are hurting and sad this day take comfort there.

Have a great day!
