Urgent Prayer Update

I got this at 4:00 pm. EDT. Dear Friends of Ruth and Bob, I just spoke with a gal from Ruth and Bob's church Here are the latest details: Bob flat lined 2x's between 7:00-8:00am this morning. At 8:00am he was rushed into surgery. Open heart Doctors removed a clot in an artery that goes from the heart to the lungs that was about the size of a grapefruit. The Doctor twice commented that this was a miracle, they could not take credit for what had taken place in Bob. No one expected him to live. He is now breathing on a ventilator and his heart is pumping good. He opened his eye at Ruth (she is beautiful) He moves at the command of the nurses, i.e., hand, fingers, feet He has a 12-24 hr period that we need to continue to pray to God for His will to be done with thanksgiving and supplication. He is not out of the woods but he certainly is no longer in the middle of them either. A nurse came out with the doctors who attended in surgery and said to Ruth "I am overwhelmed at what just happened. He was not supposed to live, there is no reason he is living." Ruth with grace and strength from God said, "It is because people have been praying for Bob." She then responded, "will you pray for me?" Ruth immediately stood with her in the hallway and prayed out loud with words of grace and hope in Christ. Glory to God! He has heard the cry of our voice. Ruth's friend Kim

What an amazing tale, yet another example of God touching so many people with a difficult time. I will continue to pray for Bob and Ruth for God's perfect will to be done. Karen

Hi Trish, I have a card with a greeting by Joyce Meyer: Our Heavenly Father has promised to take care of us. God is for us, with us, under us, upholding us, around us, and watching over us. God has us covered! Praise the Lord for His work and this wonderful testimony.

Amazing! This brings tears to my eyes. What great great news. Valena
