blessings too numerous to count...



We are so blessed. And I would say this regardless of what news we received from the doctor today.

However, the doctors have determined that Daddy does NOT have cancer. (Woo Hoo!) As a matter of fact, he does not have a goiter either. Apparently he is the proud owner of a thyroid cyst. Which means no additional medication. Yippee!

He does, however, still have gallstones and is scheduled to have them removed the day before their 50th wedding anniversary. I reminded mom that vows really were for "sickness and health." So they will celebrate their anniversary honoring those vows.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I am blessed to have such wonderful prayer warriors petitioning the Father on behalf of my earthly father. I love you guys!

Dearest Karen,
Have I told you how much I love you lately? I have no idea why God blessed me so much by giving me your friendship! Your card made me cry today! I am Praising God for your father's health! He is SO good! I'll keep him in my prayers for his surgery and for your parents' 50 years together!

Much Love,
Angie xoxo

Great news! Thank God.
I've been through gallbladder surgery and although not a piece of cake, I felt better fairly soon.
How are things going with you?

Oh that is wonderful, Karen. You are there for so many others. It was your turn to be blessed through the difficult days you waited. You are a sweet gift to me, and I imagine many others. I'll continue to pray that his surgery goes well and he is back on his feet to celebrate 50 years together! I am giving God some praise this morning for your good news and for you. Love, Annette
