Our family has been blessed to become friends with another home church of families about 45 minutes from us -- they are precious folks of like precious faith, striving to raise a godly generation to be lights in this old dark world. We love to share times of fellowship together, families enjoying each other.
Saturday was one of those days. The oldest boy in their family planned a surprise birthday party for his mother and invited our family. It was held at the home of a cousin, a dear single mom raising a son to be a man of God. She has sweetly placed herself and her son under the protection of the church and her elder cousin, who watch for their well-being.
It has become a regular thing for the adults and older children to enjoy a friendly volleyball competition when we get together. What fun and great exercise! This dear sister was playing along with everyone else when she tripped and fell in the middle of a game. She was not getting up because of pain, so she was carried in and ministered to by her adult daughter, who works in the medical field. It was decided she would wait until today to visit the clinic and check out the extent of the injuries. So she passed the weekend in great pain and sought medical care today.
Well, she has crushed her hip and will need a total replacement. Her femur is broken and will likely need a pin. And one of her wrists is broken. She will have the hip surgery tomorrow (July 31), be in the hospital 4 days, and be bedridden for months. Please, please pray for her well-being through the surgery, for her speedy recovery, for pain relief, and for God's provision for her every need. Please lift her up -- this has been a totally unexpected turn of events for her -- she is in good health and not nearly as elderly as I am! Pray for her, please.
