Thankful for the Little Things

We had an appointment at the oncologist yesterday. Jerry received a blood transfusion which gave him a little energy.
Sometimes we are so amazed by the little things that God blesses us with. We always tell him thank you when He answers a huge prayer request, but we are so thankful for all the little things.
Yesterday was a day full of blessings. Our doctor gave us a five month supply of diabetes medicine samples and then the lab gave us a large supply of saline and hepra syringes to use for Jerry's Hickman line. It was such a blessing. God is so good to us through so many ways.
Every day we are thankful for the time that we spend together; and also, so thankful for every call or card from a friend or family member encouraging us. We just wanted to thank God for all His wonderful blessings and love to us.

Also, he  has been asked to preach at our church this Sunday night. We are asking that you pray that God will give him the strength, power, and liberty.

In 1973, the Lord called Jerry into the children's ministry. He started preaching to boys and girls and working in the Bus Ministry. Here are a couple of pictures of him preaching in Junior Church at Heritage Baptist Church in Evansville, Indiana.
