7-29-10 As Ted was waiting for Tammy to get dressed to go for his last test he picked up a Gideon Bible. "I was thumbing through and I stopped at Psalms 23. The verses I had learned as a child has a new meaning. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me besides still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
I find great comfort and peace in these words. I remember my mother saying, "His words will give you a peace that passes all understanding". She was always right.
As most of you know I have been working on this blog for my brother for the last few months. I have laughed, cried, prayed and worried. But most of all I have been blessed by Ted and Tammy's faith. Ted is such a gentle man; one of few words; but his faith, beliefs, emotions and his love of the Lord run deep. Our mother taught her four children, Darlene, Janet, Ted & I to turn to God in times of joy and challenging.
ReplyDeleteI know she is in Heaven and is one of Ted's guardian angels caring for him through this journey. She would be & is so proud of you Ted.
This is a journey you and Tammy would not have chosen, but you have faced it with faith and direction from God. If I could I would carry this burden for you. I love you and will be praying for your healing, knowledge and skill for your surgeons, peace and grace for all of us.
Love
Penny
