My husband has always been a very strong individual physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Walking for miles in the plains and savannahs of Africa, climbing hills, fording streams, and crossing rough terrain, including jungle, have kept his constitution thriving. In 1982 while on furlough while being evaluated at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, he peddled a bicycle upside down and, to the amazement of the staff, kept going as they increased the speed and intensity of the ride. They were astounded at the strength of his heart.
His keen interest and respect of the Word of God, resiliancy and profound walk with God have enabled him to soar to heights Tonight I choose to abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He is my fortress, my buckler, and my shield. My God, in Whom I will trust. The Rock of Ages. The Great I Am. My Portion, the maintainer of my lot, my sustainer. My King and my God. My deliverer, comforter, peace, and righteousness. Just a few characteristics of the God I have walked with now for more than 55 years. My favorite is The Ancient of Days.
I am clinging to these truths tonight because the reality of the fact that my husband, Jim, will be operated on in a little more than a week has really settled into my being over the last couple of days. As the surgeon went over risks he said atrocious things like, "healthy people have actually died on the operating table with no explanation, severe bleeding could follow the procedure, life changes could occur, unforeseen things can take place while operating. . ."
