answered prayer

Thank you for all your prayers. My dad came out of the surgery well. He was also progressing well afterwards, even though he was still sedated. The nurses told him after he woke up the next day (he was out for about 24 hrs), that he was their star pupil that day because he came around so fast with his vitals, etc. I'm so releived and praying for his moods and mom's ability to remain sane during his recovery.

God is faithful and looking after us. I believe He is definitely getting my family's attention. I coudn't believe this was actually happening, until Mon morning when I woke up at 2:30am and realized, "they're cutting my father's chest open today - I have to go see him". I prayed and prayed that he would be ok and that he would have a change of heart spiritually after such a scare. Yesterday when I got to talk to him after the surgery, the prayer started to be answered. He said he knew that God saved him and that was because of my prayers and that He didn't call his number yet because he was supposed to be around longer to be with his grandchildren. WOW. An almost verbatim answer to the prayer I wrote out that morning for him. I didn't think it would come so soon. I continue to pray that he will be a changed man. The man who told me in high school he didn't have time to read the Bible, he had to work. Now he is talking about retiring and isn't even concerned about golfing in 2-3 months. He actually said "I have all the time in the world to golf. I'll golf with Ted (who is in heaven) when I get there. I just have to get better. When something like this happens, you really think about what matters." I should have had a tape recorder for this. My mom and I will have to attest that he said that when it is time for him to really complain that he can't golf yet. I have never heard him talk like this in my life. Praise GOD!
