Proverbs from A to Z - H


H is for Hope  - (meditation by Dawn)

Source: dilmeetsingh.wordpress.com
 
Surely there is a future,
and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18







One week ago, a little girl named Shelby had a severe asthma attack and went for 20+ minutes without oxygen. She is currently in a coma and having seizures. Her parents were told that she has severe brain damage.

Yesterday, on Easter, the family was told a little good news. The part of the brain that makes Shelby who she is, is not damaged. She will have a long road to recovery, but their little girl is still there.

This little bit of hope was what they needed. 

Ever have a time when all you needed was just a little hope?  How did God respond?

    Without hope we are pretty much immobilized. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge blogs this month.

    Hope is certainly something that all writers (and all people) need to have.

    Great A-Z post!

    Did you see the Monday morning update on Shelby? More good news!!!

    From Jon Mundock:
    The neurologists were in this morning to check on Shelby girl. 1st bit of good news is that Shelby now has reflexes in BOTH of her upper extremeties, not just 1 side!

    2nd...the respirator is set to take 7 breaths for her per minute...Any number higher than that represents breaths that she is taking on her own...Well the monitor has been showing anywhere from 10-14 breaths per minute, so my baby is breathing...not as much as she will need to but this is a fantastic sign!!!

    PRAISE JESUS AND PRAISE GOD!!!
