Day 572 - January 8 - Pain-emy

Remember the other day when I wrote about partaking at a table prepared in the presence of enemies? Well, how do you effectively focus on the Setter of the table when one of the enemies is pain?

More accurately, how do you help someone else do that? The boy has been in a bunch of pain - neck, shoulders, back - for the last two days, and I know it's hard to see God's blessings when persistent pain makes itself known. So I'd ask you to be praying for him in that regard.

One of the things that helps him take his mind off his hurting neck is the new dog, HalfTrak. Connor has such a big smile on his face a lot of the time as he watches the pooch play. Tank has already grown accustomed to having another dog around, although I must admit that the cats are a bit more circumspect about the whole prospect! Still, they've started making appearances downstairs again instead of hiding up in the storage room, so I suspect they'll be back to bossing everyone around here in a few days.

Until then, remember today as you pray that God answers prayers. And despite the fact that it's been over 18 months since that day on the beach, we remain convinced that God has not told us "no". Continue to pray for Connor's full restoration with us, and trust God to answer.

We love y'all,

E.
