Thank you to all who have been praying for my sweet hubby.
I have to tell ya’….
I posted yesterday that it would be 18 hours till I would be picking he and Emma up. Dw was waiting at the airport and opened Our Place Called Simplicity and read that post. By the way, it absolutely him to pieces to know that the Knee Team was interceding for him. He even mentioned the Knee Team on Facebook last night.
After reading the post, he dashed me a message which said, “Is it really only 18 hours till I see you?” With international travel, it’s so hard to figure out how many hours till whatever with all the time zones and such and he was thinking it had to be waaaay more than 18 hours.
Well I confess right here and now that I have never been all that great at Math. Spelling is just so much more my thing. So when his message came I re-checked my Math.
Ooops.
Sorry Babe.
I sent a message back:
“Ooops. It’s really 36 hours.
So sorry honey. I love you!
You know I never was too good at Math.
But – I can spell “perpendicular”.”
*sigh*
Dw was able to get ahold of me from Europe for just a bit.
He said that although he had only slept 45 minutes, he was feeling better. He said he thought that he was probably so wore out from preaching somewhere around 25 times in 3 weeks. Now, there’s a thought!
They are now heading to the United States and we are leaving here soon to start the drive to the airport. The kids are so excited to be taking a trip that will end in seeing Emmy and Daddy!!
I'm so glad he is feeling a little better.
Praying! I'm glad he is feeling a little better. Drive carefully!
So glad to read this update and praying them home and you to them!! Only HOURS now…no matter the math! 😉
Hee hee. That's funny. But he will be home SOON!!!! 🙂
The math thing is really funny – sounds just like our house! Glad he's feeling better and you're countdown is still in hours!!!
Praying safety and wellness for all of you!
Glad he's feeling better. You're funny by the way.
Glad that he is feeling better! I know that no matter how many hours it is, you all will be glad to have them home! We continue to pray!
He'll be home soon enough – whatever the hours are. Wishing you all a happy reunion! 🙂
oh, I cannot tell you how MANY TIMES we have had those kind of math moments. lol
Still prayin till full recovery and all are home safe!
i missed yesterday's post, Linny. So happy that Dw is on his way home! Praying that he gets that much needed rest and feels better soon!
Blessings to you all,

Praise God that Dwight is feeling better. We will continue to pray for his return to full health, a safe and super quick trip home, and that you all will have a safe trip to pick them up!
HA! Too funny!!:) But so glad he is feeling a little better…hope he can sleep some on the plane! Drive safe!:)
i was so happy to happened to have logged onto facebook right when Dw posted that. Ellie and i stood in the kitchen and prayed for him. i LOVE how God allows us to lift each other up any time!
Grateful that DW is feeling better. Been praying through the day and night – woke up thinking of you guys, each quiet moment, doing laundry – whatever, been prayin'. God has much planned for him. Satan may think he can kill, steal and destroy but, no, not here, not now 'cause Jesus reigns.

Thank you for the update – and so thankful your dear hubby is feeling better. I hope they are home by now…..or will be soon. I know they have got to be completely exhausted. My prayers continue for "feeling better" – and safe travels. Signed – one of the Knee Team :)))
Praise God he is feeling better with rest. Keeping you all wrapped in prayer.
oh my heart be still…thank You Lord for Your faithfulness and power, healing and refreshing, blessing and loving this precious family back all together! Can't wait to hear they are safely home, sound asleep! Nobody has earned more blissful sleep then those two (& you…you made it through 3 weeks! Awesome job!!) i think the 18 hours idea refreshed and spurred them on as they traveled! "Yes, we can do 18 more hours" By the time they realized it was a tad more, they were nearly home (kinda) but on their way nonetheless and home ever closer!! Purposeful math i'd say from the Lord! i know i kept saying…only 18 more hours…what a privilege to pray for all of you! oh Bless this time Father…bless this sweet sweet time! Praising Him for the great things He has done through all of you! Hurray, they are almost home!<3
Yay! They are safe at home.sweet.home!
