I wanted to come here and share something that happened today. You know Johnathan has been sick...so I took him to the doctor today. As much as I don't like him to be sick I can't help but see the Lord's hand in it for the good. B.J. you know Dr Morris is a good Godly man. One our family has grown to love over the years. He's done wonderful on helping us take care of Johnathan's medical needs when he was so sick as a baby. And over the years since you left he's been there for us in a way many in the medical field would not have done. He's prayed for us and given out so many much needed hugs over the years. He's such a very kind and compassionate young man that we're blessed to have in our lives. Now for what happened...
When he came into the exam room today right from the start he told us he had had a tough week but that he had just gotten some good news and to excuse him if he cried because he just couldn't hold back. We just let him talk. He said his young sister-in-law (age 28) had just this week been diagnosed with leukemia. She had not been sick but had just recently started feeling tired all the time. And then on Monday had started hemorrhaging and they almost lost her. Thankfully right now she is stable and is beginning chemo today. Anyway just before he came in to see us he found out she was going to get married. She had a big wedding planned for Sept. but her fiance didn't want to wait. He wanted to be her husband and take care of her in all the ways a husband can so they were getting married today...this morning...with her in the hospital. Dr Morris told me he was so torn between being so sad that she is sick and so happy for them getting married. Oh it broke my heart to see this young man (I say young man because he's only in his late 30's) sit there with Johnathan and I and just pour is heart out with tears falling. I am sure he would not have done that with just any of his patients. That is why I said earlier I could see the Lord's hands in it for the good. I honestly believe he wanted us there at that time and for that reason. When we were ready to leave I told him come here and gave him a big hug and reassured him we would keep his sister-in-law in prayer (her name is Sarah) and he just hugged me big and cried. Then Johnathan latched on to him with a big hug. Afterwords he told us thank you that he had needed us and he felt better. Isn't the Lord so good? Please ask Jesus to touch Sarah and heal her. She's got a long hard road ahead of her.
And as for Johnathan. Ends up he has strep throat but he got med. for it and I know he's going to be fine.
