How Blessed We Are

We met a few people over our Christmas vacation, but only one family stands out above the rest. While we were there we met Jane, who, overhearing my father speaking about having communion, offered her rooms to us. Our two families were able to meet her, as well as her helper and her two adopted children.

The subject of this posting is her eldest child, Emily. Emily was found on a garbage pile in Nepal, where she worked as a school teacher. She immediately adopted the young girl, only to find that she suffered heavy brain damage. Currently Emily cannot even raise her head, and must be carried everywhere.

Her other child is named Isaac, a very lively young boy.

Twice over vacation we were able to pray with Jane and Emily. We prayed as a family for her healing, and that no matter what happened, that God would be able to show His glory through her. We've been informed that she is doing much better and is smiling and laughing more.

Through all of this we were able to remember how much God has truly blessed us, in that we can walk around to go wherever we want, and communicate with others and tell them how we're feeling.

Please pray for both Jane and Emily, because Emily's starting to grow up and is not as easy to carry around as she once was. Pray for Jane, and for strength and most importantly for patience, for her to know that God works everything out for good.
