one of my dearest sisters in Christ - an angel of the earth to me in my life - loved by everyone who has the privilege of knowing her - has recently faced some very harsh trials in her life. She found out one of her sons has cancer - then she and her daughter planned a trip to see him - it meant flying, which is always a hassle for my dearest since she uses a cane and her legs are week when she has to sit and get up - and anyway - air ports are what they are - so just imagine. Well the trip to her son went well - though I cannot even imagine the heart ache she and her daughter had to endure in that bittersweet visit to see their son/brother.
They planned the trip to have her daughter come home for her work, but put her mother on another flight - by herself - to her other son in FL to give her a week of rest and be there for Labor Day festivities when her grandson would be able to accompany her home. All went well there too for the first few days and then my dearest had a stroke. So she spent her next week in a rehab facility having to go through PT each day.
Anyway when I finally reached her on her cell phone she sounded wonderful and really younger and more vibrant than ever before. There was no speech impediments, no loss of words to say or thoughts to put together and she said she was getting around very well - only diffrence was she had to graduate from a cane to a walker. She loves the walker because it has pockets everywhere.
Once again we were just thanking and praising and rejoicing in our Dear Lord and Abba Father. Our Jehovah Rapha who heals and our Jehovah Jireh who not only provided the walker but also a half rail for her bed which makes it so much easier for her to get up and out each morning. I told her that the Lord loves her so much He had sent her the "sweetest stroke" I had ever known anyone to have to suffer through. She just laughed. Yep, my sweet friend as right as rain and as much her loving, happy, laughing angel as ever. Rejoice I say, rejoice and again I say REJOICE!
