Surprise

Great surprise! Patrick received the permanent prosthesis today. We thought he was going for the fitting, and they had the real thing. Even the color goes very well with Patrick's color, and it is a hand with fingers. Now the work begins. The doctor says it will take a month or longer to be adjusted to it.

Tomorrow is my check-up to see how my wound is, and if I am ready for the shrinker sock and prepare for my prosthesis. I am so ready.

Joy of the Lord is our strength. Today was filled with negative emotions from different people, and I realized very clearly that satan would want us to be affected in a negative way for the rest of the day. When our day starts "on the wrong foot", many times through out the day things continue to go wrong, because we fail to be thankful even though the day didn't start out so joyful. If we can learn to be joyful, in spite of the negative, then satan will not have the foot hold that he wants to have on us. These moments are good for us, in that, it gives an opportunity to show love, forgiveness and encourage.

We trust your day was filled with joy and you will have a wonderful night. God bless you.
