1. Lamentations 3:22-24 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."  Most of us are familiar with this scripture or have at least heard it.  It's a great scripture...it's AMAZING when you need it to survive.  This morning we were informed that Sandi's dad has suffered a heart attack.  They will be giving him blood thinners to try to resolve the situation. He will be in the ICU with us.  Sandi is still holding her own.  She is retaining a lot of fluid and also is developing some blood clots.  Neither of these things are a surprise to the doctors considering all that is going on.  Today will be a careful balancing act of meds and fluids.  Please pray for our entire family.  Pray that God will cover us with His love, grace, peace, and faithfulness.  We would love God to deliver us from this ugly beast and pain...pray.
