Dignity and Infinite Mercy

My in-laws have found what we were praying for. Gary's brother Steve and his wife Mary have turned their world and their home upside down in order to care for them.

This week dad was released from the rehab center and Steve and Mary brought him and mom home to live with them. They both know this will be a road filled with many difficulties but as Steve said, "it will all be worth it to have even one chance to see dad smile again."

I looked back at an earlier post and was reminded that when I had no words to pray for Gary's dad all I could ask God for was to bring him a little dignity. I also requested that God would show them both infinite mercy. Both of those requests were answered beyond anything I could have imagined.

I spoke with Gary's mom the evening of the big move to their new home and she said dad woke up that morning full of joy, excitement, and humor. He wouldn't stop talking and was making everyone in the rehab center laugh. Now that's the Eugene Clayton Gosa we all know and love.

May God grant him many moments of joy, humor, and smiles for whatever days he is given.
May God give him and mom quiet moments together that only they can truly cherish.
And May God bless Steve and Mary in ways they could never imagine for putting their love to action that requires great sacrifice.

I am overwhelmed. Our God IS and awesome God.
