Keep the faith

Marvin has been down this christmas thinking about what used to be. It hasn't been easy for him to feel motivated even with the prayers that so many have offered in his behalf. When we could see the slight changes in movement or better appetite he often saw the glass as half empty rather than half full. It is so hard to lay or sit in his chair and watch life go on around him. But God has been merciful these past few days and his spirits have picked up as we have cheered new movement in his legs and arms. He has been able to raise his legs up and off the bed a little to help me get him dressed. He has even gotten his arms raised a little while working a mat on the floor. This new hope comes from the near miraculous work of Marka Rogers. He is sound asleep now after 2 hours of stretching and lifting she inspired him through this afternoon. Such a smile on his face with this new energy of what can be for the future.
Thank you for lifting us up in prayer. God answers us with people sent to inspire us or opportunities for us to help others and get out of our own sadness. These miracles are as important as the one that saved Marvin's life in June. These save his sanity and give him purpose again.
Your loving comments, visits and call keep us going!
