STORM HEAVEN'S GATES ONCE MORE

Dad will go back to see Dr. Duke on Monday, and we are asking for additional prayers.  Unfortunately the central line did end up in his neck last week; so he's trying to get used to that. 

The following was written by Marilyn Goerig for my mom and dad. 

STORM HEAVEN'S GATES ONCE MORE

I’ve never been a patient person;

My husband would be first to agree.
But over the years I’ve improved;
When I let go, let God, not me.
Louie, on the other hand,
Is the most patient person I know.
Even before this terrible event,
He seemed to go with the flow.

The last two years have been traumatic;
A hardship to say the least.
The pain, the weakness, the bandages;
And missing each family feast.

He has been an inspiration,
Strengthening everyone’s Faith.
The Bible tells us be patient;
For all good things we wait.

We’ve been less persistent in our prayers;
As we beg for Louie’s recovery.
It’s time for a renewed fervor;
With each petition and plea.

In a renewed cry for healing,
We’ll join together as before;
To lift our hearts and voices,
And storm heaven’s gates once more.
