Hey ya'll! I've missed you so much! This is the first time I've had a chance to get to my computer but wanted t thank ya'll so much for praying for us. We are beginning to see some better days now I think. Michael has been in tremendous pain bit it seems better today. He did great through the surgery and so did I!!! I could truly feel the prayers as I waited during the surgery. I have felt them too as we have been in the recovery phase. We don't know yet about cancer but I feel complete peace about the outcome. I give God praise for all of the experience . I praise God also for the friends He has given me in ya'll. You all are such a comfort and I pray daily that you all experience the best in life. Each day is a gift and I have been reminded of that so much in the last couple of months. While Michael was resting finally about 3:00 a.m. , I was waiting a bit to make sure he was going to be able to rest easy before grabbing a catnap myselfand I was reminded that God is always with us. At that early morning hour, I was sitting by the window just looking out at the darkness when I heard a bird start to sing. It was just one little bird in the tree right outside the window. It was facing towards me as it sang but it was such a comfort. It reminded me of the verses in the Bible about the birds of the air and the lilies in the field that have now worries because God is caring for them. How much He must care for us and even me to send that little bird to sing in the darkness. I don't know how to explain how it was or how it made me feel. Such a simple thing but a miracle too. Well, in my simple way ( I don't know how to be anything else!) I praised God and was reminded of ya'll too and the prayers I could feel. Thanks ya'll for caring about my Michael so much that you added him into your prayers and thanks too for your friendship. Much love, Jennie
