Home At Last

By the time I had reached Utah, Asab had been released from the hospital, PRAISE THE LORD! I was met at the airport by three extremely wide grins (Glory, Asab and Courtney).

On the way home (MY very own home), Glory explained about all the wonderful people and their generosity towards my household. I was in "Awe" of God's power.

It was late afternoon when we reached home so dinnertime was upon us. Glory ran home, which was just next door, to check her messages and to give us some alone time.

Mean while, my kids and I started on our new adventure first of which was learning how to cook together. With my spasmodic hands I quickly became supervisor, while the kids, six and seven by then, did the preparation. They listened intently and followed my lead well. There was absolute happiness in that house. We were back together like our family should have been. Yay!!

When we finished making dinner for four, I called next door and invited our neighbor, (Glory) to dinner. It was nothing fancy just Mac-n-Cheese, green beans and hot dogs, but they were so delicious, because "We" had made them ourselves in "Our" own home.

Then we got ready for bed. We had a two bedroom, but that night my family slept in the same room, same bed, in each others arms. As soon as my children were in my arms safe again they automatically melted asleep without a peep or any movement. I lay awake for quite a while, enjoying my new found "independence," my family being where I could touch them and praising the Lord!


Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."
Mark 5:19


I am blessed
