My good friend, Cheryl, shared this with me today - another way of saying "2 more days" is "2 more wake-ups", and we have 2 more wake-ups till we fly home! Yippee!
Today was such a wonderful day. We worshipped with our Arizona "ohana" First Southern Baptist Church of Scottsdale. They began with "Victory In Jesus", then we shared a short testimony, then they sang our favorites "How Great Is Our God" and "How Great Thou Art". What a rousing praise to our God.
After one more delicious lunch at The Cheescake Factory, we enjoyed a visit with Debbie, Josh, and Wendell Bond. Wendell and family are long long time friends, Wendell also was our Sunday School teacher 30+ years ago when Rick introduced me to Dan. We had fun reminiscing and catching up.
Then it was off to Marie Calendars for dessert with my high school friends, Karen and Calvin Slaan. What a blessing, reconnecting with these precious friends and fellow believers who have prayed fervently for us and loved on us during this journey.
Dan has labs and his last pentamidine inhalation treatment at Mayo tomorrow morning, then we might visit the Healing Garden one more time; we spent many afternoons there towards the end of Dan's hospital stay. Then we're on the plane Tuesday morning!
This may be our last post to this Eagle's Wings blog, as we have come full circle in our journey through liver transplant. Thanks for walking alongside us in the valleys and mountaintops. Let us know how we can pray for you in your journey. Keep trusting God no matter where life takes you, He knows where you are and loves you right there, hurts with you when you are in pain, and rejoices over you with singing (that one is in Zeph. 3:17), and my personal favorite - you are His treasured possession (Deuteronomy 26:18).
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31 NIV),
Debbie and Dan
