You may remember me blogging about a sweet lady from one of our congregations who was life flighted on Christmas Eve! I'll be very honest with you, we didn't think she would make it and weren't even sure we would go to Alabama after Christmas! But we did and she gradually regained strength and was even allowed to go to a Nursing Home/Rehab facility where we all 6 visited with her several times.
Well today we were able to visit her...in her own home! Jean is doing wonderfully. She is having to slow her pace, but she really is doing so well! Such a miracle that she can even get around.
She was excited to take the kids picture with this little rocking chair that was hers when she was their age.
Eli sang for Mrs. Jean as she missed Church on Sunday. We listened to stories from Mr. Elton of his days as a Scout! We simply enjoyed our visit! Wonderful people that we are so privileged to know!
As we were about to leave Eli decided he wanted to take a picture of Mr. Elton. He snapped it before Elton could object, although I don't think he would have!
It is so fun to visit wonderful people who have lived such full lives and have so many experiences to share. Elton is 95 years old. I asked him as he was showing us his Eagle Scout sash and remembering what the different badges were for, if he had ever had any of his "stories" written down! They would be wonderful stories to pass to many generations to come!
We had a wonderful time and are so thankful that the Lord healed Jean and continues to watch over them both!
