And now for something completely different...random thoughts. I have not blogged lately because things have been so up in the air lately, mainly with Amy's surgery and recovery. I have a few blogs in'edit' that I hope to get to soon, so stay tuned.
...having to stay busy at work and keep up with the workload, maintain the house and look after Amy. Sometimes I wonder how we keep going. And don't forget about the church activities! One of the good things is that we have not had to cook for about three weeks. So much food has been prepared for us. There is no way to adequately say thanks. That was probably the best thing out of all this. If I had had to cook, well, then the wheels really would have come off the wagon.
I have to say that I am truly amazed at Amy's recovery. It has been a month and she is doing very well. We've had a few hiccups along the way but all in all she has done remarkably well. Considering what she went through (which many women go through) she has bounced back quite well. I know she has a long ways to go, but the change in her demeanor and the improvement in her health...wow!
We have truly been humbled by the outpouring towards us in the form of visits, prayers, cards, telephone calls, meals prepared, thoughts and prayers. It felt a bit weird having it announced that we were going to be helped while we were present for the announcement. It gives one a greater appreciation for the church and those we care about when we are the recipient. We get so used to helping others that we sometimes forget that we need help occassionally.
It is amazing how the church responds when needed. There is never a question of what to do but rather it is the fact that there is a response. The 'who' is the body. The 'what' comes naturally. The 'when' is as needed. The 'where' is just that. The 'how' is in whatever way is appropriate.
