Thankful for my FATHER

Hi Folks!

I pray that you were all blessed with a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  I hope you remembered to really think through and thank God for all the blessings that have come your way over the past year.  I wonder if you even took the time to thank God for the things you wish wouldn't have been in your life this year.  

For example, my Grandfather died on July 15, 2010...10 days before my birthday.  My Grandpa, D-Daddy, was my living example of Jesus Christ.  He taught me so much and helped to lead me to making a decision to accept Jesus Christ into my heart and become my Abba Father, my Eternal King.  Well, last night before I tried to go to sleep, I lifted up my concerns, prayers, and thanksgivings to Jesus.  Before I knew it I was sobbing.  The human part of me was broken because my D-Daddy was gone.  I didn't get to sit at the table and eat turkey and dressing with him.  But, at the same time I was sobbing and praising my Father because my D-Daddy was having Thanksgiving with Jesus and I know that because I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior through His gift of Salvation (Romans Road to Salvation is list below) I will eat turkey and dressing with not only my D-Daddy, but my Abba Father when He calls me home.

I wanted to update you on my medical status as well.  It appears that the antibiotic is working and is attacking the Lymes within my body.  Praise You Jesus!  Regardless of my thanksgiving to the Lord for the gift of the antibiotics, I am struggling.  My vision has become blurry, especially in the sunlight or in the car.  I have made the decision not to drive for the safety of everyone on the road.  My hearing is not as good as it has been.  I am struggling understanding what people are saying, mistaking words for others, missing words completely, or becoming extremely confused.  Lastly, tonight and last night I have had what appears to be mild seizures in which I fall asleep immediately following.  Jeff has witnessed some or nearly all of these problems.  He is going to call my doctor Monday morning.  From articles I have read, these side effects are listed as side effects of Chronic Lyme's Disease, but we feel much better knowing that my doctor is aware of everything.

I would ask that you please continue to pray for Jeff and me, along with our families and medical staff.  We know we are in the Hands of a Healing God!
