I am so grateful for all the prayers, cards, messages and thoughts that went out to my family and me during the time of my mother's illness and death. It meant so much to me to know I had so many friends that were supporting me. Thank you so much. You'll never know what that meant to me.
I'm reminded of I Samuel 23. David was running from King Saul as the king was seeking to take his life. Verse 16 says, "And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God."
That was all of you. You helped me find strength in the Lord during the time I was in great turmoil. Thank you for being my Jonathan.
Dad appears to be doing as well as expected. He has seen God continually honor his faithful life and righteous living. To make a long story short -- First, in less than two weeks of mom's funeral, dad found a perfect one bedroom apartment in a beautiful 77-unit retirement facility. (Somehow they just "happen" to have the first opening in the three years of their existence the week we checked on it.) He sold his house the same week, and has closed with cash in the pocket for the appraised value. (In this economy? Yeah, right.)
God takes care of His own.... Thank you Lord. Keep dad in prayer as he continues this part of his new journey.
I should be back blogging again..... I guess I needed the break.....

So glad to "have you back" Terry!
God really took care of your Dad with all the "coincidences". How can you sell a house in a week????
Glad to hear that he has something new to concentrate on and we are praying for him.
