Life can change in an instant

Some people know know that Michael's aunt Orene has brain cancer & we have been asking for prayer for her. She recently took a fall down some stairs & hit her head. The decision had been made to put her in a nursing home, but something in me just couldn't stand the thoughts of it and we decided to bring her home with us for physical therapy in hopes that she will heal & be ablt to return home. Each day she seems to get stronger & do more, praise the Lord. Please keep her in your prayers. This isn't easy yet she is working so hard. I can't imagine what this must be like for her.

Each day I spend with Orene it makes me more thankful for every tiny blessing in my life & I thank the Lord above for it all..nothing is to small to be thankful for. I am thankful for my my health & the health of my family, home sweet home, being able to talk,speak & see...put one foot in front of the other, breathing, self sufficiency, and most of all my salvation. This whole situation makes me realize how fragile life really is & how quickly life as we know it can change. As I observe daily a frail,once highly independent woman it changes my outlook on life and the depth of thankfuness I have.

Please continue to pray for her..I see God working before my eyes daily.
