Watching faith in action is a beautiful thing. God has a way of refining us, drawing us close to Him and growing us during these trials. Oftentimes, that supernatural work spills over into other’s lives as well.
We have been blown away at the care, concern and prayer support that people have extended to our family. My dad recently communicated his gratitude for every one’s prayers as he emailed an update to friends and family. I found myself so encouraged by what he wrote:
I definitely have noticed the Holy Spirit’s presence. I’ve also discovered that prayer is similar to radiation treatment although much more positive. Just as radiation treatment affects the surrounding organs and tissues on its way to the intended target so prayer affects the entire person (body soul & spirit) on its way to its intended fulfillment. In my case there has been an increase in God consciousness, greater capacity in resisting those irksome sins that so easily entangle and a great deal of peace. I do covet your prayers.
Thank you for your prayers for my dad. We are filled with gratitude at God’s continued faithfulness and how He uses every situation in our lives to draw us close.
…and I continue my formal ‘online’ count towards 1,000 gifts.
