Elise says
Joy, thank you for sharing your heart and giving us the privilage for praying for your family. I'm only 28 but my dad is also 63 and facing serious health issues, I understand the fear but be reminded that God does not give us a Spirit of fear but of power! He does not want us to dread, but to instead, trust Him. He loves your daddy more than we can imagine and he is in our Lord's hands, and is safe there. We will definitely be praying, keep us updated. You have sisters in Christ that you've never met that care!
Joy Kincaid says
Elise, thank you so much for praying, and thank you for the encouragement to trust in the Lord. I'm so sorry to hear your dad is also facing serious health issues. Thanks again for encouraging me! ♥

Thank you so much!
Amber says
Oh my goodness. I will definitely be praying for your dad and your entire family. 63 is so young. My dad is the same age. The MRSA diagnosis must be so frustrating as well.
Joy Kincaid says
That's what I thought—63 is so young! Yes, the MRSA has been frustrating, since it's something he got at the hospital. Thank you for praying, Amber!

I am so sorry to hear this! My dad had a long hospital stay quite a few years ago….I was homeschooling my older two and had twin toddlers, I can still recall all those emotions that were involved. Praying for your dad, you, & the entire family!!! {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}
Joy Kincaid says
Thanks so much for praying! That's one good thing about this experience…I will now be able to empathize better with others who have gone through similar trials. ♥

Praying for you and your family!! I know you've written this before but what do people do without the Lord? I can't imagine. Those verses spoke to me several weeks ago and they have been our memory verses the last week or 2 as we home school.
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Rebecca. I know, I can't imagine going through hard things without the Lord and the hope we have in Him.
