"And we know that GOD causes all things to work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to HIS purpose." Romans 8:28
For those who aren't on my regular praying email list, Mrs. Eudy has been a dear, dear spiritual mother to me for close to 30 years. She has suffered from dysautonomia the whole time i have known her. Recently her daughter made the decision to move her to Ky to be close to her and the move was delayed a month by an emergency surgery and then rehabilitation in which Mrs. Eudy developed a blood clot, and at the end pneumonia. She moved into her new home on Wednesday and then passed out Thursday morning and stopped breathing three times. The doctors were not very encouraging on Thursday about Mrs. Eudy's condition....but today, GOD brought new hope and the reassurance that truly HE does work all things together for good to those who love HIM and are called according to HIS purposes. Romans 8:28 Please pray for Mrs. Eudy and her family!
This morning, Mrs. Eudy's daughter called me and told me that the fall Mrs. Eudy had yesterday that broke a bone in her back was turning out to be a blessing. The doctors discovered through examining her so thoroughly for the fall that she had internal bleeding, not caused by the fall, but by the blood thinner she was on for the blood clot! If she had not fallen and the internal bleeding been discovered she could have bled to death before it was detected. She is still in a difficult position with the internal bleeding and blood clot so please pray about that and she has pneumonia. They have taken her off the blood thinner, and running more test on her today. Because the break in her back is like breaking a rib or tail bone, she won't have to have any treatment for that...just uncomfortableness as she recovers.
Susan, Mrs. Eudy's daughter, was full of gratefulness to the LORD for the doctors discovering the internal bleeding, and the fall. She thanked GOD for his tender mercies of allowing Mrs. Eudy to be blessed and be a blessing to so many of her dear friends and family during her time of being in the hospital and rehab here, and now in Kentucky, her close family is with her. Susan realized whether GOD leaves Mrs. Eudy on earth for 10 years or takes her HOME today, this time will always be a treasure that HE gave to her and to us to tell her how very special she is to all of us. We have been able to continue to be blessed by her most precious and dear life. Just as an example of her love for others, in the hospital and rehab, she made it a point to remember all the staff's names, and thanked them graciously by their names whenever they came to help her. She kept a sweet smile on her face even in the midst of great discomfort....what an example to me she has been of a suffering saint. Susan said the things that most people say at a person's funeral is what we have all been able to share with Mrs. Eudy before she leaves this earth.
Please continue to pray for Mrs. Eudy and her family...her son from Hawaii is arriving tonight, along with her son in law, Doug. Please ask the LORD to spare her long enough to get to spend time with them if HE should choose to take her home soon.
I read the words to "Blessed Assurance" this morning and dusted off my mandolin and sang them as i played.
"Blessed Assurance, JESUS is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of GOD
Born of HIS Spirit, washed in HIS blood.
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture, not burst on my sight,
Angels descending looking above,
Echos of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission-all is at rest,
I in my Savior and happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with HIS goodness, lost in HIS love.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my SAVIOR all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my SAVIOR all the day long!
This song, is such a picture of Mrs. Eudy, and her family....perfect submission, perfect delight....Praising their SAVIOR all the day long!
I love this version of "Blessed Assurance" that Alan Jackson sings....surely much better than mine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Thank you so much for your precious prayers for her and her family....i love you and appreciate you so much!
Mrs. Eudy-praising her SAVIOR all the day long!
With all HIS love,
