Thanks Christi for using this blog to keep friends and family updated with our progress after the accident. There is no way we can thank everyone enough for all the prayers, cards, calls, visits, meals, etc. God has truly blessed us with wonderful people in our lives!
This post is being made by Joyce. I am pretty much back to my old self. My arm is still a little weak, and I continue to have about a 2" oval area that is numb to the touch, but as far as I know it is not a problem. Bret still has some nights of discomfort with his ribs and goes back to the couch to try to sleep. He continually tries to go back to his normal activities, but tinges of pain interupt him and prevent that from being totally accomplished. The doctor said that the total healing of his ribs will take months, so please continue to lift him up in prayer for that to happen. The burns on his lower calf and ankle are finally about healed.
I'm sure we will carry a few minor aches and pains from the accident for a good while, but we feel sincere thanks to the Lord for not allowing our injuries to be any worse than they were. Every time we think back and discuss that day, we know God had/has a purpose for allowing it all to take place as it did. I continue to cling to one of my life verses, Roman 8:28. "For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." God called me into His family many years ago as a young girl and He has kept me in His care in all things. Another promise I continue to thank God for is Psalm 91:11 - "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."
Again, we thank everyone for their prayers as we realize God will use this in His own way for us to be able to help minister to someone else. He works things that way, you know!
With love and appreciation,
Joyce & Bret

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
