The LORDS day

We call Sunday the LORDS day.

So if it is HIS day doesn't HE get to call the shots? Shouldn't we do what the LORD wants, since it is HIS day?

It has been a trying week and we each have had our own struggles whether personal or as a family, or as a Church body. The Bible reminds us each time we open it that GOD wants to be a part of what we are doing the center of our very being. And when HE is everything goes better!

We had a little excitement around here Friday! Franklin & James had gone to town Thursday morning and got back late, looking for wood and shopping for the very best prices for our shop we are about to start construction on!
When they got home Franklin was feeling bad, said he'd had a headache most of the day and now it had traveled down his neck and chest. He had been stressed out looking for wood and driving in San Jose which can be a nightmare! So I just thought it was that. I massaged his feet, lots of times that relieves his headaches, and it seemed to help. His chest was still bothering him but we went to bed and he seemed to rest well.

Mary had class Friday morning so he took her at 6:30am. When he got back he told me he was still not feeling so good so we decided to go to the new hospital, to see what was wrong. He walked down to the building to make sure everything was locked up to leave. A he walked back up I was feeding the chickens and getting ready to leave. He was so out of breath he could hardly walk back to the house! This scared me a lot, and we quickly got ready to leave. He wanted me to drive so I knew he wasn't feeling well!

As we got the hospital he was feeling really weak and I could tell it was serious! So we get inside, tell the lady at the information desk he has chest pains, and they immediately worked us in and in a few minutes he was being seen by the Dr & nurse on staff, Rosio. I couldn't go to the back with him so I waited in the waiting room.
They gave him a nitroglycerin tablet, and were doing some checking, in the meantime the nurse left him for a second to get his papers, and he nearly passed out! There was a girl cleaning he called her and she quickly called nurse Rosio! They got him on an iv gave him some medication, and got him on a bed, and then called me.
It is a great place to be when you are feeling bad but a place we hadn't ever been there so we had to find our way around!

They did an EKG and blood tests etc. everything came out clear, for which we are very thankful! He had used a chainsaw above his head to cut a tree a few days before and seems the muscles in his chest were very irritated, hence giving him the symptoms of a heart attack! Thankfully his heart is ok and now his pain is gone!

We are praising the LORD! GOD has our lives in HIS great HANDS! Franklin said as he was passing out he thought well, guess this is it! BUT GOD isn't finished with him yet, and we are thankful it wasn't more serious! Thank you for your prayers! We know that GOD has heard you and HE works on our behalf when you ask GOD to protect us and provide for us!
Thank you for your gifts to our ministry! May the LORD richly bless you and keep you in HIS care as you serve JESUS daily!
JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
