Our Journey Through The Valley (37)
I'm sitting here looking at a brand new battery-powered "Scooter" that has been provided for Bev free of charge. Another wonderful provision for her. The wheelchair I mentioned last time is also free of charge. We are so grateful for every expression of God's goodness - many of…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (36)
MIKE: The wheel chair man came again late last week. I mentioned recently that his first visit a week ago confronted me with the reality that the next stage of this debilitating disease was almost upon us. This last visit was another confrontation for me, at least. Bev handled the whole deal…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (35)
BEV: This week has held some enjoyable as well as confronting experiences. Celebrating a granddaughters' birthday was a highlight. As the disease increases to add dis-ease to life, walking is becoming very difficult causing serious consideration of whether I can accomplish the few paces…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (34)
This morning the wheelchair man came to our unit. Together with the Occupational Therapist they came to do the necessary paperwork and tuition for Bev to have a "power chair" to use in our unit and around the village. They bought two models with them and Bev had the opportunity to…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (33)
Yesterday we celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary. We have been away with friends for the better part of the last week (which, incidentally, is why I have not kept the updates as fresh as usual). In fact Bev and I spent most of the day on a train as we returned home. It seems to me that…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (32)
"The trial of faith" Man, how many times have I preached on that subject over the last 40 + years? It has not been a theoretical exercise, either. Trials we have had. Financial. Betrayal. Health. Relationships. But we have never faced a trial like the one that confronts us now. This…read moreOur Journey Through the Valley (31)
MIKE: Well, this morning (July 14) was a high point as we continue our "Journey Through The Valley". Our Pastor invited Bev and I to have a "fireside chat" with him and that chat led to a time during which Bev was anointed with oil (as per James 5) and we had the opportunity of…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (30)
Yesterday I saw a man in what I sensed to be the advanced stages of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). I didn't like what I saw. I hoped that what I was seeing was not a prophetic picture of what is ahead of us. We were attending the first meeting of an MND clinic during which time we met a number of…read moreOur Journey Through The Valley (29)
Sunday July 14th is a day to which we are looking forward with keen anticipation because the morning service at our Church will include a time when Bev will be anointed with oil as per James 5/16. Our Pastor is planning to have a "fire side chat" with Bev and I as part of the teaching…read moreOur Journey Through the Valley (28)
When the two ambulance officers walked through our front door last Saturday, they took one look at me (Mike) and they said just two words, "morphine" and "hospital". The general opinion of those who know me seemed to be summarised by a third word, "stress". There has…read more
