Well as most of you know Margaret has improved a little today. That is good news indeed. I am so thankful for any and all improvements she is making. She is truly in the right place for the right time for her body to be recovering. I spent a week with the awesome nurses and doctors at the Harborview Medical Trauma Center. They truly care for their patients. They have some of the finest equipment and staff in the country. I am so thankful for their commitment to their calling.
However I also spent about 12 days in Providence Medical Center ICU in Anchorage. They also truly care for their patients. They are also a fine hospital and have some of the finest nurses and doctors and equipment in Alaska. WE are truly blessed in America to have some of the finest medical care in the world. I also spent about 12 hours in Central Peninsula Hospital the day this whole ordeal began. I also live and work in this community. The nurses, doctors and staff here are some of the finest in the country as well. I would put their professional care and compassion up against any in the land. Our newly remodeled hospital for a community our size in truly incomparable.
Yes it is God that created the human body and God designed it to heal its self to a great degree. However God also gave the men and women who are called, and I do mean called, to be Doctors and Nurses the talent and ability and compassion to work with Him and our bodies in the process called “healing”.
I want to give a great big Christmas Salute to all the Doctors and Nurses in the world that have dedicated themselves to the “art of healing”. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Here’s a thought, not only is Margaret and Jerry and many other thousands of patients and their families in the hospital for Christmas and the entire Holiday Season but so were many nurses and doctors and support staff.
It has been said several times when we send out a good report on Margaret’s progress that “God is good”. Well I totally agree that God is good, I do not agree that because Margaret is doing better God is good. No I say God is good all the time. In spite of the good and the bad from our point of view, “God is Good”.
Remember Romans 8:28 God will work all things together for the good of those who love Him and for His Glory. Let us at this Christmas Season and at all times through out the year put our total trust in God who is good all the time! He really does care for you even in the tough times.
In closing let me say it is still snowing here in Soldotna, Alaska. We have received at least 6 to 10 inches today. Wow what a Christmas present indeed.
God Bless you all,
Pastor Alan
