    Gerald..................A praise

    It's been about a year I suppose that I put up a prayer request for Gerald . He worked part time for me for 8 years . Always on time , rarely took off and did good work . He had a massive stroke , Gerald is I think 56 years old . I'll try to keep this short but a lot happened . He was care flighted to Dallas three times with little hope given to his wife and children that he would survive .

    Top of his scull was removed to relieve pressure on his brain , he on his own couldn't breathe , eat or talk . He was finally placed in a nursing home , it's my personal opinion they thought he would die . A lot of problems , a lot of suffering for both him and his family .

    I maintained in contact with them , there was little I could do but encourage . I'll skip ahead to this morning when I called to check on him . His wife had moved him back home . He can eat and breathe on his own . He is getting home therapy and can walk to the bathroom by himself using a brace on his left leg . Though slurred he can think and speak now . Him and his family have fought to get this far .

    GOD has sustained him and the family . The outlook is positive for him to improve to be the best he can be physically . I praise our Lord for his mercy !

    His wife said they are ALL going to church tomorrow . Gerald has come a long way . I ask for prayer once again for him and his family . Thank you .
    No turning back , No turning back !

    A great post and a great testimony to our GOD who is always with us and loves us!

    May God's grace and mercy and His healing hand descend on this good man, and restore the faith of his family and all who love him. Amen.

    Praise God for showing, even though our doctors get their abilities from Him, theirs isn't the final decision. I didn't see your initial thread but I will certainly include Gerald in my prayers.
    I would also like to thank God for the folks here on this site. It is so encouraging to be a member of a community that are willing to pray for each other. Thanks to all of you who are in touch with our Lord and Savior.

    I'm doing fine . just life as usual...kind of . The 'shelter in place' deal is a bummer though . LOL , been cutting down trees growing in the fenceline . Cleaning the shed , hauling off 'junk' . Doing a lot of projects that I have avoided in the laziness of my advanced age . Takes me forever to get anything done these days and that drives me nuts .

    I was going fishing quite a bit for a few weeks but the river flooded and you can't get to it now for the mud . I like the river...it's peaceful . There are plenty of other places to fish but too many people now . The shelter in place thing has made a lot of folks rediscover getting out and fishing plus the warm weather getting them on the water . But I'm doing good !
    No turning back , No turning back !
