A lesson again...

My last post was about how faithful Callie has been praying for others. Bill, who had an aneurysm a couple months ago, was most likely not going to go back to his normal way of life - living in his house by himself, completely independent. This did not seem like a reality to his family or doctors. Everyday for at least over a month Callie thanked God for him and prayed that he would get better. We kept hearing he was improving and that most likely he would move in with family so they could take care of him as he had what seemed to be brain damage. Then all of a sudden one day we heard he was fine and on his way home...to his own home to be back by himself, once his family helped him settle back in. Callie heard this and was so happy! She got to see Bill one day shortly after he'd been home (he lives across the street from my parents) and she ran up to him and gave him a hug. Now I have to tell you that she is not usually that brave running up to men (who she does not know that well) much less throwing her arms around him. But, she sure did that day! And he told her how much it meant to him that she had remembered to pray for him every day...now if that isn't a true happy ending, I don't know what is :)
