Beth Short:

Two days ago when we were on our way to Lynden to visit Cousin and family, this verse from Hebrews 11 came to my mind:  "out of weakness were made strong."  We stopped at the house to meet Bill before going to the care center, and there was Cynthia sitting in her chair in the living room!  She really enjoyed surprising us!  Cynthia has made amazing progress in the two weeks since our last visit, by the grace of God and hard work!  She continues to glorify God in every circumstance.  Thanks to all of you who have prayed for my beloved cousin, and for all the practical ways you have loved and cared for her and her family.  That makes it easier for me to go home again. This morning when I came to her room, Cynthia was sitting on the bed, but all of the bedding was in a pile on the floor!  She had not had clean bedding in five days, and had taken charge of the situation!  Cynthia worked on her arm and hand today, and is getting more movement and strength.  Her speech is gradually improving as well.  She will continue therapy 3 times a week as an outpatient for at least a few weeks.  Monday is her Homecoming Day, and she is so excited to get there!  Praise the Lord for the wonderful things He is doing!
