Mrs. Doug said Bro. Dale had a good day today. He was watching T.V. when she got there, but he was really glad to see her. She said his incision looks great. She didn't get there in time to talk to any of the therapists, but the nurses said he did great today. He ate all of his supper while she was there. She was surprised because they had some stuff that she knew he wouldn't have eaten at home. (I forgot to ask her if he's gotten any pineapple sandwiches yet! I'll have to ask her next time I talk to her!) :-)
At one point while she was there, he started motioning with his left thumb and index finger and she finally figured out that he was making a cutting motion. She asked him if he wanted her to cut his fingernails. He nodded yes and seemed satisfied once she was done.
Sherryl Mallory went with Mrs. Doug today to help her drive since she was kinda tired. Also Robert Lee & Edna Easley came by to see him. He knew who they were and was glad to see them. Mrs. Doug told Bro. Dale about the benefit that the church is planning to have for them on March 3rd and he got really emotional. She could tell that it really touched him and meant a lot to him.
The benefit will be Saturday, March 3rd, starting at 5pm at the Vardaman High School gym. The dinner options are smoked chicken or pulled pork. You can call Tammy at the church office (662)682-7458 or see Whitney Casey or Sherry Williams for tickets. They are $10 each. There will also be an auction, so if you have items that you would be willing to donate, you can let one of them know as well. There will also be live entertainment.
"31 “As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
33 It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he enables me to stand on the heights.
35 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You give me your shield of victory;
you stoop down to make me great.
37 You broaden the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn." 2 Samuel 22:31-37
Have you had a pineapple sandwich yet? So happy that you are finally getting to eat...and comunicate your wishes....and getting Doug to do just what you want....ha! I think she would do 'anything' you desire....as would any one of us. We all love you and are so looking forward to that day you bounce up those steps to the pulpit again. Love & prayers, Jim & Julia
