Hey Ya'll Out There

I hope all of you are doing ok. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and prayers, cause I tell you, I needed all I could get! Doc told me just one more day, and I woulda' been a gonna, I guarantee! I can't thank the Lord enough for watching over me. I'm back home now...everybody is scratching their heads wondering how! Well, like I told all the others, I werent 'bout to leave my ole' gal behind for some ole' pol-cat to come sniffing' 'round! Heeheeeee! Seriously now, I just want all you good people to know, Loretta has really stuck by me, and didn't leave my side at that hospital (not that I wanted her to leave)not one time although ya'll know she's got a lot to deal with concerning her health. Now that we are home she's still doing it all. I can't believe how much she is doing. She tells me the Lord is working with her now, and I believe it! I thank God every day for her and pray we live a long life together. I know I'm not the only one with sickness out there, so I want to wish you all good health and if you are going through any problems and such, let us all know so we can say a prayer for you...one more wont hurt, will it? Well, Loretta is fussing about being on this machine too long, so I guess I'll get off, but, not before I say this again, ya'll are some caring, wonderful folks and I'm here to tell anybody that, I guarantee! Take care of yourself and your family and don't forget your neighbors, we got us some good folks around here. Loretta says don't none of you forget her, she'll be back in a while as soon as her patient gets better. Now, ain't she special, that's why I love my gal! Do you think now she'll git rid of her shotgun? Heeheeeheee, I better quit a 'fore I rip somethin'. Love ya'll, this is the hubster signing off, James

Update 3 on James' Recovery

Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I am pleased to tell you, if all goes as well with James' recovery, he will be discharged from hospital tomorrow! Doctors are so astounded at his rapid recovery, they are still saying it is unbelievable! Out of ICU the next early morning after surgery, into a private room, then off all machines. Next, off oxygen, stats normal, sitting up, walking, tubes out, everything stable and if all numbers continue...he will be home tomorrow! What an awesome God we have... His spirit was certainly all around us! Now, the other end of recovery...we have a long row to hoe here at home...but I am certain we will be Blessed to finish this too! Again, thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! You are truly awesome friends and we are Happy to have you in our life! May God's rich Blessings be with you all! Love to you all, Loretta

The A to Z Of Us

Hello... How are you this pleasant morning? We are doing ok too!
 I have written a post on our blog 2 I'm sure you will like to read about the two of us...nothing fancy, just little things. Read them at: http://athomewithlorettaonline.blogspot.com/ Have a beautiful day!

Loretta

Good Morning Dear Friends

It seems as if I have been away for months, but I know it has only been days. I hope today you and yours' are well and your experiencing much peace and happiness!
  I see Vonetta posted for me and I am happy that she gave you an update. She, and Dawn have been so supportive and helpful to the both of us. I don't know what we would do without them. Importantly, I can't forget my Mom...she has truly been helpful keeping us uplifted with her encouraging words, and cooking healthy meals for James...truly a Blessing in so many ways! 
 
  I simply can't forget to mention how very much you all are appreciated for your loving, wonderful thoughts and sentiments...you can't begin to know how much they are welcomed and very much appreciated. Thank you all for your support and love!

 Our prayers have given us peace of mind and a contentment I can't begin to explain. When I started to adhere, and to feel God's spirit, I found this little quote above that helped both of us.
  You know how you allow your mind and heart to over-think things...this is something I'm very guilty of, and you never obtain peace within. When I read this, it all fell into place...it is self-explanatory, right?
  James has gained so much from the visits received from fellow christians, friends and acquaintances...he too, is ready for what's to come this thursday. My main goal was to get him to this point... our Lord answered this prayer by giving us the time to do so...isn't it remarkable how, in His merciful and loving ways, He can set things straight for us! We are truly blessed to have such a Great God...praise Him!
  James and I extend our love to each of you and may you have peace and love...Thanks again for all your love!
