Dear Prayer Warriors, Thank you for all your prayers. It has been a season of intercession for Ethiopia, for family, for the country. God is faithful and hears our prayers. What He does with them we don’t always know:) But He is good and his mercy endures forever and his faithfulness is to all generations.We just got back from a visit to my dentist. It was the most positive one that I have had with him (still saying I can’t PROMISE anything). He was able to get the trays in my mouth and make impressions. “I need to apply to the Catholic Church to proclaim this a miracle,” he said. He is hoping to develop some frames and see if they fit in my mouth (keep stretching) and then he will send them off to make the bridges. Implants will not work due to no gum and little bone to work with. We came away praising God for his “miracle”!! No need to look any further:)We wish all of you a very happy Christmas because our joy is in the Lord, not in new teeth or presents or even in family being here or not. John and Mom and I have been singing three or four Christmas Carols every night in our devotions. It has been good to see the Christmas thoughts of the ages that range from manger to cross, from tiny babe to Heavenly King. We are blessed to have three of our four children coming to celebrate with us on the 22nd. We will celebrate with our church family on Christmas Day. Be blessed and be filled with Holy Spirit. Love in Christ, John and Gwen
