Better Days =)

Yes, I can say our situation is better. Thank you all for the prayers. I am now back to taking it one day at a time.

Several good things have happened. Yesterday, we were able to put enough money down on a van that it will now only take 8 years to pay it off =)  Thanks to the generosity of one or more of you anonymously, we brought it home. I've tried to find out who it is but my sources are tight-lipped, so I say thank you, thank you, thank you. It was very generous. The Lord bless you. The van has to have a special ordered part fitted to Keith's power chair and put in next week. Then our first stop will be the Everett Waterfront, a place Keith first introduced me to several years ago. We used to walk around and admire the beautiful scenery. We look forward to doing that again.

Keith continues to amaze me. I often wonder what good Keith and I are doing because we sure do a lot of nothing. But yesterday, after seeing the doctor, Keith spotted one of his former students as I was wheeling him out. He insisted on stopping. The young man pointed out that he was going to have a baby. My judgmental mind wanted to ask him if he were married. But Keith embraced him in such a compassionate way and encouraged him. He said, "You will be a good dad!" He went on to ask him about his current life and then told him what a joy he was to have in class. It was getting emotional as the young man seeing his teacher for the first time in a wheelchair accepted his love. We said our goodbyes. I was and am so proud of my husband who has shown this kind of  love and integrity since I have known him. No wonder his friends want to see him and be around him. They get to feel what I feel. So Lord, I ask you to show your Mercy and heal Keith. He has a lot more to do.

Now, for what the Lord has me to do. =)
