Faith - Patience

Sunday - February 15, 2009

Faith and patience - two virtues we as Christians should always have. I do have faith and know that by living by God's word will lead us all to our heavenly home. Patience is a virtue many of us tend to lose when "things" do not go the way we think they should.

Right now I have faith that God will be with Dink and His will is what will be done! God's plan for Dink is still unknown to us - but I do know we pray that he will have a complete recovery. Friday evening he had a stroke which has left him with the inability to talk clearly, move his right arm, and has a weaken right leg. Early this morning he suffered a heart-attack. This makes his fifth heart-attack in 20 years. It has weaken him even more. We have all prayed as have many many of our Christian friends, different churches across the city and state, and his precious mother, wife, sons, brother, sister, and relatives from all around. Dink has been the rock; the one we all listen to - especially our mother - and the one who could fix anything broken! It is our faith that is helping us to continue to believe that Dink will recover. We know that God will always be with him and the rest of the family during this time.

Patience - the lack of it - causes panic, despair, uncertainty, and frustration. We want Dink well yesterday with no set backs! That is not the way God works - we truly need to be patient and let His will be done!

We as the Layne family ask that you lift Dink up in your prayers and that God might lay His healing hand upon him.
