Mrs. Hodges, Santi and PatsyLast week our family had the privilege of meeting two very special women. In a way, it is because of you who pray for Santi and our family that this came about. Let me explain…
With Santi’s surgery coming up, we were looking into renting a hospital bed that would make him more comfortable and make getting in and out of bed easier. From previous surgeries, we knew a bed would cost around $250 a month to rent. Although this was a matter of prayer for us and our church family, we hadn’t come to a decision as to what company to go with etc.
One evening, a woman from our church decided to do some online shopping/looking for us. She felt the Lord prompting her to inquire about a particular bed she found for sale online here in the area. Through a few e-mails, the lady that owned this hospital bed found out about our family and most importantly, Santi’s need. The owner of the bed wrote and told our friend that without reading everything through about Santi on his blog, she felt the Lord impressing her to give the bed to Santi. Thus began our interaction with Mrs. Hodges, a wonderful, sweet and generous woman who lives about 45 minutes away from us.
It was soo exciting when the day came to get the bed! Not only did the thought of Santi having a comfortable bed bring excitement in this home, but the knowledge that God once again provided for our need! God’s hand is not shortened that He cannot help or hear (Isaiah 59:1)!
We couldn’t have met more sweet and cordial women as Mrs. Hodges and her sister Patsy. Santi brought a drawing for Mrs. Hodges that brought a lot of joy to Santi because it was promised a place of honor on the refrigerator. =) Loading the bed on the truck went smoothly and after everything was secure, we had a special time of prayer. It was special to be able to pray and have that common bond with other Christian believers.
We thank the Lord for providing for us and blessing us with new friends along the way.
I will forever remember pulling away and looking back to see the ladies smiling and waving us off…what joy for them and what peace for me in seeing God’s promise fulfilled….that He would never leave us nor forsake us.
Anita for all the Hurons

You know..... I just cried when I read this. That struck me as odd because I already know the story! It was the part about being able to see Gods hand/provision once again. His love........
