Praise and Thanksgiving

My oma finally arrived home from the hospital on Friday. For those who don't know what happened: she had a bladder infection which went septic and was admitted into the ICU of McMaster Hospital within 24 hours. The doctors didn't expect her to make it. That was six weeks ago. All of my aunts and uncles arrived in Hamilton ... for the first time in many years. About a week and a half after being admitted and having multiple system failures, she woke up. She was later transferred to a normal ward, where the doctors said she would not be home before Christmas. Now, just over two weeks before Christmas she's home.

God works in such marvelous ways.

In our Guido Bible Study we were discussing the power of prayer relating to Daniel. He had complete faith in God, even when faced with death ... a horrible death in the lions' den. Yet he was not afraid. He had complete trust in God.

One of the most amazing parts about prayer is the communion of saints and their influence. There were so many people praying for her, and continue to do so. People from Africa, Australia, and all across Canada. It is such an encouragement.



Thank you.
