We Have Seen Him

This is one of the few times I am so excited to let you know how Gary is doing! We cannot praise God enough for the wonderful news Gary's doctor gave us today.

Gary went to the oncologist yesterday for a bone scan, as I reported earlier. We were told we would not hear anything for two weeks. We can only assume that that doctor was so excited himself by the news that he called Gary right away to tell him he is CANCER FREE!

We are awed that we can all breathe a little easier, walk with lighter feet, think of things other than cancer. Satan can really use this disease to steal and destroy everything we know to be good and godly. But God granted us reprieve from that today and in the future.

We all know that the battle is not over and that Gary must return to chemotherapy and continual tests that will cause us to hold our breaths until we hear the results. But we praise God that we can see and feel His plan for Gary on this earth a little better now. We KNOW God has healed him of his cancer three times, and we KNOW God can keep the cancer from returning. We hold on to that promise that God knows every hair on our heads, and that promise brings us peace and comfort when dealing with things like cancer.

We know several of you who are praying for Gary and his recovery are also dealing with cancer or a number of other physical or emotional tragedies. Please know we also keep you in our prayers as we pray for our own family. And our prayer is that you can also claim the following:

My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you.

May God bless you in all you do for Him this week and, as always, we praise our Savior and Healer that you continue to lift up Gary and all of us when you enter His presence.
