Today my Daddy has surgery. Susan's here, we'll be playing cards and pretending not to worry.
I'll be thinking about this song: From this one place--Sara Groves (if you click that link, you can listen to it, the player's on the right side of the page, it's black. I couldn't figure out how to get it on here.)
I was about to give up and that's no lie
cardinal landed outside my window
threw his head back and sang a song
so beautiful it made me cry
took me back to a childhood tree
full of birds and dreams
from this one place I can't see very far
in this one moment I'm square in the dark
these are the things I will trust in my heart
you can see something else
something else
I don't know what's making me so afraid
tiny cloud over my head
heavy and grey with a hint of dread
I don't like to feel this way
take me back to a window seat
with clouds beneath my feet
from this one place I can't see very far
in this one moment I'm square in the dark
these are the things I will trust in my heart
you can see something else
something else

Oh Betsy we didn't know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today.
We are praying for your dad's surgery and for all your family's peace of mind today!
In my prayers as well.
Trusting right along with you. Love You.
Betsy, I am sorry for the scariness. We are praying for all of you and sending lots of hugs and prayers.
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with My victorious right hand." Isa. 41:10
Thanks everybody. Everything is going beautifully so far-short surgery, only 24 hours in ICU, he actually slept some last night, and I can feel the buoyancy as so many prayers lift me (us) up.
Yay!!! I am so happy for the good news! :)
