Keeping it All in Perspective

Since recently emailing a large number of people who did not yet know about Charlie's prostate cancer and upcoming surgery, we have been blessedly flooded by notes of encouragement and truth from the Word. Your words have spoken their own kind of healing, and one message in particular shed a new light on the perspective we believe God wants us to have in these kinds of situations. After all, His kingdom is about a far more precious commodity than our physical health or happiness. Maybe reading this friend's comment will encourage you as well, according to your current circumstances.

"All mission fields are not in Africa, South America or even another state. Some of them come with call buttons, IV bags, and tile floors that click with the wheels of hospital beds. Look for those moments as your family travels this road. Someone is going to need to hear the gospel. There may be more than one.

We are praying for an easy surgery, complete recovery, and for the ones you are to touch to be open to your words and may they see lives full of expectations of what the Lord is going to do."

I couldn't have said it better. Something tells me we are going to be blessed even beyond our expectations in ways we could never have anticipated.
