One Year Ago

Today marks one year since Samuel had his ablation. Read here if you want to remember along with us (you'll have to then peruse through all the November 2008 postings to catch the full story). That one week in ICU seems so very long ago. Samuel still remembers his experience well and it is a good time of year to help him remember to give thanks to God for His perfect timing, protection, provision and healing of his heart.

When I reflect on the heart problem Samuel had and the health care available to us, I can't help but think of the countless children in Iraq who are living with a heart condition that threatens their young lives and to be without hope of receiving a life-saving surgery like Samuel was so able to receive. My brother Cody and his wife, Michelle are laboring to help save the lives of these children through the work of the Preemptive Love Coalition. Check out the following video of Mohammad's surgery just a couple of weeks ago. I encourage you to pray, give and spread the word about PLC. We have so much to be thankful for!
