Continuing playing catch up...
Thursday, my dad was admitted to the hospital after having some issues that probably stemmed from very high blood pressure. He has had TIA's before- best described as a mini- stroke. So, when he told my mom what was happening, she knew what to do immediately. They headed to the ER and he was later admitted for several days of tests and observation.
He came home yesterday and is doing well. I went to see him Saturday and spent a nice day visiting my family and going out for dinner with my parents after he came home from the hospital.
That in itself is a blessing to me. I love my family and really enjoy spending every moment I can with them! I don't have enough of those moments so I treasure the ones I get.
The other thing this made me realize is one of the wonderful things about this age of technology. My mom called me to tell me my dad was in the hospital and as soon as we hung up, I went on facebook and asked for prayers for him. I noticed just after that my mom and sister did the same. Between the 3 of us, I was amazed at how many responses we got- people offering to pray for him! I know some people aren't fans of the social media. But, this weekend, I saw great things because of it. People I wouldn't normally pick up the phone and call or that I wouldn't normally see found out my dad was sick and were able to lift him up in prayer. And, the comfort of that is a beautiful thing.
So, where was God? He was listening to so many people praying for my dad and He was with my dad helping him get better and come home.
Blessings,
