Thankful Thursday!....Learning to be still!

Update: As of Oct. 3oth Clark has found out he has more---issues. Please keep him in your prayers. ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR CLARK-- HE IS NOW 'OFF' ANTIBIOTICS WOO-HOO AFTER 11 WEEKS! Thankful this week for "Learning to be STILL" Clark took the heavy duty (pee) test last week. We waited and waited and waited for the results. When not hearing anything before the weekend we decided to just be STILL about the worrying. So in being STILL we enjoyed a nice Saturday fishing, a quiet Sunday. Concentrating on whatever normal feels like. In church we learned again to maintain HOPE no matter what is going on in our lives. So in being STILL we listened to that 'still small voice' telling us to remain optimistic. We received the results from the test. Although not good, it isn't the worst news. His protein count was 1566(normal is 150) apparently really bad is above 5000. We are going to see a kidney specialist in two weeks so in the mean time we are being STILL and enjoying TODAY... BESIDES HE HAS KICKED THE BOOT AND HIS TOE IS HEALING WONDERFUL! One thing that I have reflected on his how upset I get with the 'UNKNOWN' I hope to learn to be still more often. I'll work on it. In the mean time I am always thankful that when bad things do happen we are blessed to be able to handle it. So often we are blessed that what could happen hasn't. And maybe my bits of pessimism sometimes helps me be prepared for what ever comes??? Any way we recognize that come what may, God is always there. "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM" --he remains by our side if we seek him.
