Tomorrow, Sam's dad has more surgery on the ankle he broke last year. It has robbed him of the ability to do the kind of construction work that he has always done to support his family. He has not been too successful trying to find something new to do in today's tight job market. All of this has been very hard for him (as it would be for most men) to deal with.
Bless him, he is a "glass half empty" kind of person. He has little faith in the doctor being able to restore his ankle to his previous level of functioning. As people who have dealt with serious injury and/or illness know, attitude is everything.
Of course, Sam is anxious about all this. And I am concerned for her as well as for her dad.
So I will say a prayer for them both tomorrow. For healing, for peace, and most of all, for them to feel God's presence in their lives.
