Counting Blessings

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. The Lord has definately had His Hands in our lives the past couple of days.

Kristalee is recovering very well and may possibly be coming home Wednesday night if things continue to go ok. She will still need to recover from her injuries for about 6 weeks.

Today I went and helped her get herself cleaned up a bit. I combed her hair and helped her wash her face, neck and back. She said that it felt just wonderful. She was able to be moved into a stroke chair (which is a very large hospital wheelchair)and she said that she felt like a queen. She was so grateful for all of the love and support that she has recieved. Kris hopes that she will be able to return home soon so that she can feel a little more normal.

My mom is also doing ok. She said that she feels "like the life has just been sucked out of her," Her boss replied that 'it was and the angels put it back in for her.' She is slowly returning to regular life activities. My dad has been able to be home and help her. This has also given him time to work on his Honey Do List, which makes my mom happy.

It is really sad that emergency situations make you reflect on how important family really is. I don't know how life would be had this emergency gone any other way. It truely makes me grateful to know that the Lord knows each of us as individuals, and gives us what we need. In a way I am grateful for the new look on life especially because of the holiday season. It makes me reflect and know the true meaning of Christmas is Giving. I am grateful for the service that I can give at this time.
