Patti got back to her apartment today at about 2:oo PM after being discharged. The final medical report was great. First of all, no pneumonia with all the doctors signing off on the diagnosis. Thank you Lord! Secondly, no other complications. We just need to get her water consumption back up to snuff. She will be back in her rehab program tomorrow. (Friday)
Hated to go to the hospital for two days to learn that, but sometimes that's what it takes.
Thank YOU for all of your prayers. One thing I have learned through all of this is that as Believers and as members of the body of Christ, prayer over the little things on behalf of others is just as important as prayer over the big things. Even if someone doesn't specifically know you are praying for them God does and by His Spirit they will know the effect.
In Hebrews 7:25 the Bible says "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." The Bible also says in John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father."
Now on an individual level we may not believe we will ever raise the dead or heal the sick, but we sure can pray for one another. We can "make intercession" just as Jesus does for us and literally fulfill His Word when we do because we are doing one of His works and, I believe, one of the "greater" works He intended for us.
So many of you have "made intercession" on Patti's and my behalf and with astounding results. In just the two days at the new hospital this week the staff kept coming around and marveling at her recovery. We had several opportunities to share a little of her story and God's marvelous provision. I know that in several places there God received the glory that He is due for Patti's recovery. Please pray that the ripples from those contacts will touch many.
Forever in Him,
Mike
