Psalms 119: 105-112 https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ps119.105-112
Wayne and I were married twenty-eight years when he
got sick. We both had a gastro-intestinal upset in March and I got over it but
he continued to have problems. In the
next two months he became jaundice and just didn’t have much energy. After many tests and procedures we were
referred to Oschner hospital in New Orleans for further procedures and
hopefully a diagnosis. In July they
determined he had a very small tumor at the junction of his stomach, small
intestines and gall bladder. He was scheduled for a Whipple procedure to remove
the tumor and reconnect that junction.
The recovery from this was slow.
Then we traveled to MD Anderson for treatment options. It was cancer and required chemotherapy that
could be done in Gulfport. In September he
started his treatments. That day was his best day in months. He was able to eat
and called several people on the phone that afternoon. We found out later that
many of his co-workers at WLOX had a prayer meeting at the same time as his
treatment. Through all of this Wayne continued to read his Bible and strengthen
his faith. Two weeks later he developed
a pulmonary embolism and died.
There is NO DOUBT in my mind that he is in
heaven. He was a much stronger Christian
than I and better Methodist than I’ll ever be. GOD,
The church family, our Sunday school class (Scrap
Iron) and Christian friends got our family through this crisis. PTL
Dear God, “ Let the words of my mouth and the
meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. O LORD, my strength and my redeemer!”
Amen.
