Easter....
Mila was at visitation on Easter, so the family came over later on in the day to see her. Emma and Derrick brought her an adorable Easter basket complete with bubbles. I got the job of blowing bubbles while mommie fed her mac and cheese. There was no Easter egg hunt as she was very tired and we are again having issues with pain. Andi has been woken up at 4 am 2 mornings in a row with Mila complaining about her head hurting. Hospice came today and they called the neurologist and a higher dose of pain medication has been ordered. On Friday we took Mila to our dear friends Laurie and Tim's wedding reception.It was about a 25 minute drive to get their. Andi was behind us with Mila in her car and papa and I were ahead in his truck. Every time we stopped, papa would wave as Mila was waving from her car seat in the back seat. My phone rings and it is Andi telling me to wave....Mila was saying to her, nana no wave, she's broke. I was laughing so hard, I waved and I could hear Mila say...nana wave, she fixed!!!
By the time we got her to the reception and in her stroller, she was asking for pizza. The kindness of the hostess of the reception...she immediately checked her freezer and had pizza bites and heated them up for Mila. We weren't able to stay long, and our friends were so gracious in understanding we couldn't, we headed home, all of us at the same time. When Mila thought we were not going to leave when Andi was leaving with her, she began to cry. So, back home we went.
Today she has been in her room with mommie. Some pain issues, but seems happy as long as mommie is with her. I hope she is doing better tomorrow and that we might be able to take her out, maybe for a walk when it cools down. I feel bad for Andi, she is pretty much staying in her room with Mila most of the day. Our friend Laurie is planning on coming to see us tomorrow. I am sure that will cheer Andi up. Mila calls her Dorie, but Laurie doesn't seem to mind.
I want to thank all of you for the wonderful Easter greetings and prayers. Even though we weren't able to hunt eggs with Mila, it was so wonderful to have Uncle Jon, Aunt Crystal, Emma, Derrick, Uncle Ronnie, Uncle Kevin and great-grandma over to see Mila and take part in Easter.
Our love to all of you and our thanks to the warmth and caring you daily bring into our lives.
Hugs to all,
Sher
Please continue to pray for Bill (& us). He is scheduled to come home this Friday! The last time he was to come home, they extended him at the last minute! Praying hard that won't happen this time!
Please read my blog titled The Sweet Family It has a current update on Kyle Sweet, and an awesome ministry they are undertaking in spite of Kyle's cancer battle!
THE RESURRECTION
We hold so close to our hearts
The cross where Jesus died
But so much more than the blood-stained cross
Is that Jesus came back to life
The stone's been rolled away
The tomb lay open and bare
They looked for Him, and then the angel said
That He is no longer here
Oh what joy they must have felt
To see Him just once more
To eat with Him, to drink with Him
To receive Him back as Lord
So much did He accomplish
Through His death upon the cross
And in His rising from the dead
He reconciled us back to God
Nothing else could bridge the gap
That sin had wrenched apart
Now we can freely go to God
And receive Christ in our hearts
MATTHEW 26:
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.
28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."
Have a Blessed Friday..LeAnn~
I just have to thank you and Praise God for your music ministry. Although I am a true believer and a Christian, the enemy caught me off guard and I began giving in and listening to his lies. Without going into details, I was listening to K-LOVE and your song "Praise You In This Storm" came on and I played it over and over until the storm of that evening had passed.
Ray Boltz came out with a song many years ago called "The Anchor Holds"....inspite of the storm" no other song had reached me as deep as yours did that evening. I thank you for allowing our Father to use you and your ministry. You may very well have saved my life that night.
Since that night, I have purchased several copies of your CD and have given them out and shared my testimony. Once again, thank you for allowing yourself and your music to be a vessel.
God Bless you,
Joni
