A 998 foot gain



Not long ago, in the May 17 post for this blog, we were thrilled because Anne managed to raise herself 2 feet. A couple of mornings ago Anne and I hiked up to Fragrance Lake, an elevation gain of 1,000 feet. The scope, depth and quality of Anne’s recovery is difficult to explain; it is clearly experienced when you are with her. What a dramatic change from the May 16 post of “Some things have to be believed to be seen”.

We are learning as individuals, and as a family, to appropriate and live into this new life. We deeply appreciate your prayers for us – if you would share how you were led in prayer using the “Comments” below that would be a great encouragement to us.

Tenuous hope in dim sterile rooms,
Seeking to celebrate the least,
A finger squeezed, a milliliter gained,
Gradually life returns, so like sunrise,
First, the dim hope of light by faith,
Then the full warmth experienced
Now learning to walk in the full light,
He remains the faithful source of all strength and life,
Thank you Father, Son, Holy Spirit.


Looking forward to higher elevations……
