Happy Holidays
What a terrible thing to have a loved one in the hospital during the holidays. And most especially a spouse you’ve been with for years.
My dad had a stroke on my mom’s birthday, and sometimes she tells me how she really didn’t feel the stress of it until he came home from the hospital. There was no time to feel sorry for herself. No time to feel sad about Dad. She was busy taking care of the house and business in his absence, and making sure he was okay in the hospital, not lonely, not afraid.
Please pray for all those who are alone this season, who cannot be with family or friends. Widows, widowers, orphans, soldiers, and those who work overseas away from their families.
Wickgal underwent surgery on December 18, and is currently in a coma. Please pray for her husband, Doo, who although he may not feel it yet, will be enormously relieved for the support he’ll receive later.
Illness is hard on everyone.
