It is amazing how well she is doing. She was such a trooper today. What a busy day.
She has a good breakfast and she got to take a shower. She was ahhhhhhing away as the warm water was running through her hair and over her body. It is so funny how she bosses Ron around. He had to use the correct shampoo and wash it just right. Of course she needed so many towels; one for her hair, one over her shoulders and one on her lap. What a girl! After that she needed lotion on her arms, legs and backs and make sure you use the right one. A different moisturizer for her face. Hair volumizer on her roots, blow dried hair and all ready for Becky to curl and style it for her.
We all sat at the table and we had a wonderful soup and bread. After that she was tired and needed to rest.
She got to visit with her special friend Aileen who brought dinner for later. Becky, her best friend since they were 13 came by and they had a special emotional visit.
She joined us for her favorite dinner, tacos. We all sat around the table and talked. Some small talk and some deep talk.
Just when we thought the day was over, about 25 beautiful voices showed up and were singing Christmas Carols out her window. She told Ron to have them come into the living room so she could hear them better. What a beautiful moment! They sang about 4 songs and even included Rudolph for the kids that came along. Even though her day was so busy, she wanted to see her other close friends Bill & Kristie Sheble and Larry & Robin Fryer. She was so covered with love today, what a great day!
It has been a blessed couple of days for her kids, Ron and her. They got their goodbyes out of the way and now they can just love on her.
We don't know how long her heart is going to hang on. All we know is we got another day to show our love to her. Maybe she doesn't need it so much, but we do.
We didn't get our Christmas Miracle, but it looks like Rhonda is getting her Christmas Miracle. She gets to see Jesus real soon!

What a beautiful picture you paint. How thankful we all are to hear that she is getting the opportunity to see loved ones and do the things she desires. Thank you, Lord, for each and every day the family can share new memory making moments. Much love and continued prayers... Ron's cousin, Karen & husband, Dan.

I was just thinking about Becky and hoped she was close by. I am so glad Becky is near and the ladies got to visit. I also love the idea of carolers came at a perfect moment. Thank you Penny for letting me be a part with all your updates. I love all of you. I am so glad that the day was so amazing. I am pretty sure I would be exhausted after all that. Good job on Ron's part for follow directions. What a wonderful man! I want to say the right things to express my love but the right things aren't as important as the love I have for you all. Blessings for today!

We talked with grandpa yesterday, he is very emotional and his heart is with all of you, especially Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteYou are a worshipper in heart! I am blessed when I think of all of the times that you led worship at Christian Center... I'm praying that right now your heart and mind be filled with songs of worship to your Creator. May you and your family have an uplifted spirit of praise and peace. May you be radiant with the presence of the Lord upon you. You are His beloved...the apple of His eye.
"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall." (Malachi 4:2)
With love,
Jenny Woods ( & family)
Love you guys, with you in spirit.
