A Year Later




 It's been just over a year. It was September 17.
2013.
Now, 30 pounds lighter
eating more wisely
walking and exercising daily
 A year ago we were visiting the grand kids in Nicaragua and Glenn suffered a heart attack.  After an emotional and tense 3 hour drive from Lake Nicaragua back into the capital city of Managua, the doctors determined that Glenn had suffered a heart attack sometime during the night hours.  Glenn was immediately wheeled into the OR for 2 stents to where he had 100% blockage. 

Today, Glenn had his 1 year check up since his heart attack.  The doctor reported that they could see he still had scar damage, but that it had not gotten worse.  The doctor's report was encouraging to both Glenn and me!
Over the past few months, we have had friends about the same age as Glenn suddenly die of heart attacks.  We were heart broken.  
And I ask, 
"Why did God spare Glenn's life?"
"Why didn't Glenn die like our other friends did?"
  I can appreciate life more.  
I can appreciate Glenn's life!
I am thankful for God sparing Glenn's life and allowing him to serve here on earth just a little longer.

Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God 
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind
and with all your strength
