Sweet friends,
It is so good to be home. And to come home to a clean home, beautiful flowers, fresh cut lawn and a full fridge - wow - how do i say thank you!! You have blessed us so wonderfully during this time. I have laughed, remembered, cried and rejoiced at your post during this most difficult time. You have touched my soul. Many of you have heard me say that i have a 'low people need.' During the last 25 days i have learned, maybe my need is greater than i had thought!! I do not know how i would have survived the last month with out you all. To be able to share my intimate hurts, fears, praises and request and know that i could trust you to take them to the throne, how would i have made it without you all? Thank you for helping me carry this load. I know there were some special prayers going up on our way home - cause driving is not 'my spiritual gift!!'
I want to have a big party and you all get to know one another - but you know that is what heaven will be - i will just have to wait!! You folks really need to know all the wonderful people i am blessed to know. There are so many you did not get to hear from because they emailed me personally that they were reading the blog and did not post or sent a card and said the same. You truly only got to know a few of the truly wonderful people that have touched my life. I know God's choicest saints.
Of ALL i am truly most blessed.
Thank you for blessing me

I'm so glad you guys are home, and I'm still praying and thinking about you. Tell the Reverend Doctor Pastor Brother Aaron this knock knock joke and see if it helps:
Knock Knock
Who's There?
Falafel.
Falafel Who?
Falafel off his bike and hurt his knee!
Love you guys,

Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for sending such faithful servants our way. I praise You for all that You have done in the lives of Pastor Aaron and Denise, and also for the miracles that will take place in the days ahead. Please continue filling their lives with Your mercy and grace and give them both the strength to continue enduring this season. You have dominion over all and we know that Kingdom work is being accomplished. Please place Your healing hand on Pastor Aaron's system and deliver him. I know that Your timing is perfect and we will rejoice.
In Your precious name I pray,
Amen
PA and Denise, I find encouragement in this Psalm.
Psalm 118
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
2 Let Israel say:
"His love endures forever."
3 Let the house of Aaron say:
"His love endures forever."
4 Let those who fear the LORD say:
"His love endures forever."
5 In my anguish I cried to the LORD,and he answered by setting me free.
6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
I will look in triumph on my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
11 They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and my song;he has become my salvation.
15 Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!
16 The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"
17 I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
18 The LORD has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD
through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;
23 the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you. [a]
27 The LORD is God,
and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
up [b] to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

I am so happy that you are home and PA is pseudo-vertical. Please be encouraged in God's eternal goodness. (Verse 3 was just a bonus!)
Much love to you both!

Glad the two of you are home. PA many of us wouldn't be where we are in our walk with Christ if it were not for you. I think this helping each other is what Kingdom living is all about, not that I know much about that sort of thing. Glad your cup is overflowing we just have to get the rest of your body to join in. See you soon.
Pastor Aaron and Denise, We are so glad that you are back home because that is where you want to be. We wish there was some way WE could take your pain way but we know only the Great Maker and Healer can do that so we pray for your pain to be controlled and for your healing by the one who can do such miracles. Pastor Aaron, you are our pastor, shepherd, spiritual leader form God , our leader, our mentor, our councelor, our teacher, but you are human just like us and we know that you hurt and grieve and get disappointed, frustrated for your body to respond, you want to return to life, you feel physically weak and lifeless some times, but Pastor Aaron that is normal and ever though you pray and all of the people pray we know all of those prayers are being heard and will in time be answered. Mary and Martha expected an immediate response from Jesus. Certainly God has the ability to heal us in an instant, but just as certainly there are many times when He doesn't. But that doesn't mean He doesn't care. I know that you know that and are holding on to that promise. We know that God usually only gives us a step-by-step understanding for our life. We do not know why some people seem to be afflicted with more sickness that others but God knows our situations will end for our good and for his glory. Please call on us if there is any thing we can do no matter how large or small it may seem to you. Remember you said you read the chapter I gave you in the book "90 Minutes in Heaven". Do I need to photocopy it and send it to you?
Love you both and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Linda Ward
