Our friend is doing well, still in a lot of pain but he has nothing broke and the MRI showed everything okay except for bruising. He is going to come home either tonight or in the morning. They still need our prayers he has a long way to go both physically and spiritually. I thank everyone for all their prayers.
This family is our family also, they are much closer than friends to us and we see him as our brother. It was a hard thing to see him hurt and helpless. It makes us all stop and see how blessed that we are. We need to take everyday as if it is our last and make it count.

Update
Our friend, his family and I do appreciate the prayers.
Just a little update. He had an MRI yesterday and they are waiting to see a back surgeon this morning. From what we are told this is a precaution. He rested well last night but is in pain again this morning.
The prayers are still needed for his health, family and his spiritual healing.

A Special Prayer Request
We had a friend, his father in-law, my brother in- law and a neighbor that had all stopped to take a break and decided that they would go swimming in the pond. This pond has a rope swing and they were all having a good time when the friend took his second turn and let go to early causing him to land wrong. When he did it cause him to land on his arm and head. When we all got there they told us that they had pulled him from the pond after they had found him. He keep telling us that his arm was broke and then while the wait on the ambulance his said my neck hurts. Long story short they got him to the hospital and did say that nothing was broken he was bruised and had swelling in his neck. They sent him to a bigger hospital were there would be a neurosurgeon on call because of the swelling in his neck.
They were all talking earlier with my husband and our preacher about God and how instantly something could happen. The thing is that our friend knows about God and has turned away.
I ask that you could all say a special prayer for our friend and his family that he will be okay. I also ask that you say a prayer for all that were with him and the rest of our friends that are not were they need to be because this has affected them all. Our prayer for them is that they get right with the Lord and be saved by His grace before it is to late.
This did get them all thinking, because when we got back from the hospital my husband was talking with our brother in- law, and he has always said "just give me two days before something happens to me and I will get right." I think that he has realized know that he may not have those two days. Lets just keep praying because God has a reason for all this we just have to realize what it is.

Busy little bees
I have not really had time to think about a post lately, have barely had time to read any. Hope everyone has been doing well.
I have been a busy little bee working for VBS. That was a fun time, although I surely could not have made it without God having grace and mercy on me. This was my first time as being a director and organizing this. I was sitting at the kitchen table coloring a picture that I had drawn and Doodle Bug came running by and wanted to know what I was doing, explained to her that I was coloring a picture for VBS and she began to look at all the others that were laying on the table and she said that looks like a lot of hard work why do you want to do all that. I explained to her that it was a lot of work but I was doing it because God had called me to do VBS and that was part of working for his kingdom. She says well can I help do God's work? Of course you can, she said it will be fun and we can make God happy at the same time.
Doing God's work can be hard but we all need to remember to look at it through a child's eye. I can certainly say that I had a lot of fun getting ready and it was a lot of work, that all came to light when you see the children smiling and enjoying themselves as they learn, sing, and dance about God and His word.
Just to see them smile makes you being tired and worn out worth it.
We learned one big thing this week and it was "We cannot complain and praise God at the same time" So lets do a lot more praising God and less complaining.
