Last Tuesday, Bill drove me to see Dr. Hilton in OKC. He is a specialist who does only root canals. I was referred by my dentist. The worst pain was the shot which deadened my mouth. I prayed hard while that took effect!! I could feel the tears in my eyes. Actually, I recovered very quickly and didn't have to take the pain medicine prescribed. A few Tylenols did the trick the first night! The following day we went to Braums' to get milkshakes. We were given 2 gift certificates at the dental office. I decided I like Sonic shakes much better. They have more fresh fruit.
By Friday evening, I was ready for the Music Party that had been planned. We filled our house with my piano students, their families, and my Bible Study Class. After playing music, we played a game that Bill organized. The guests had to look at word phrases from famous songs and guess the titles. My Mom (90 years old) was awesome. She guessed some Elvis songs!
This morning, during Bible Study Class, we skyped Keri and her family. The kids, Sofia, Selah and Isaiah all introduced themselves and sang songs in African. Isaiah also counted to ten in African for us. Keri asked us to pray for 2 things: Isaiah has hurt his hand and needs an x-ray; a nearby bridge collapsed and over 100 people have been injured. Kevin, our son-in-law shared that his language teacher has just become the chief of his tribe because of a death in his family. The whole family is adjusting quickly and has made many friends. I pray for their protection daily.
I have been praying for the families of the Malaysian Airline disappearance. I know what it is like to not have closure. And, having been to Malaysia I can picture the people of that country. When my cousins, Bill and Virginia were killed in a helicopter crash, I wanted to know what happened. Their bodies were never found. My comfort is that I will see them again in heaven. They were some of the sweetest Christians I have ever known!!
