The Van Swols: Day 5

September 4, 2009

Day 5

Last night was a better night. This morning, Joshua woke up with a cough. Any sickness at this point is a concern for all. Elizabeth is still experiencing fear. Please continue to pray - specifically for the cough to go away and for Elizabeth to not be fearful.

Randy said...: Van Swols -

I find comfort in times that I don't understand what God is doing or not doing in John 9:1-3. I know that we are not able to comprehend His ways nor are we able to see what the future holds but these words bring "the peace that passes understanding"

John 9:1-3
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life."

You are in our prayers.

May you feel His comfort & His love throughout your days. Be reassured that His hand is upon each of you & He can be trusted- always, and in all things. We love you, The Holmes family; September 4, 2009 at 6:54 PM
