Another Red-Letter Day

Sunday was a special day for Janet. The teens from her church in Mae Wong came to visit, bringing with them a banner that they had painted to express their love for her. There were about twenty people crowded around the living room. Janet was able to talk to them about her faith in God the Father in the light of her home-going. Thais don't like to talk about death or dying as they feel it will hurry it along but she encouraged them to talk about it and especially to not fear it if they have trusted in Jesus for salvation. She said that there isn't anything to fear--all death means for the believer is going to live in heaven with Jesus forever! Janet and the kids shared happy memories together, then they all sang a couple songs and prayed together. What a joy it was to watch Janet interact with the kids and with the leaders of the Mae Wang church!

Roxie was right in the middle of everything, but she was not too excited about what was going on!

Their love for Janet was so evident in the pictures they painted.

Janet had another difficult night Sunday night. Her pain medication has been increased and she's had a more comfortable day. She was hungry for potato salad so we fixed a bowl of it for her and she said she really enjoyed it. Pray that she will have a more comfortable night tonight. Pray for wisdom and strength for Pam and the others who are caring for her.
