The Agony and the sheer ecstasy
My husband was injured yesterday in a farm accident. I could have lost him. That is the agony.
We have friends who love us and began immediately to offer prayers for him, especially prayers of thanksgiving that he was spared. That is ecstasy.
We have children who are now grown. A son who is a trained medic in the special forces with a head for his job and a heart for his parents. That is the sheer ecstasy. What would we do without such blessings. One of Doug’s wounds wouldn’t stop bleeding and having to succumb to a trip to the ER was not something that I wanted to put him through. Through the wonders of modern technology Ryan was able to help me get the bleeding stopped. This morning the bandage was dry and my heart is so full of love and relief I cannot express it.
Thanks be to God for friends, family, my son, and the internet.

Oh my!
So very thankful God has provided all that you needed for your husband.
I’m going to continue praying for Mr Doug’s recovery, and giving thanks that the needed resources were so readily available to you.
The injury looks terrible, but I’m thankful it wasn’t worse. (((HUGS)))
@saintvi - That’s the better looking of the two. That is the one that I couldn’t stop the bleeding on. The knee looks worse but it was pretty straight forward. We are off to the dr. soon to see what he says. Thanks for the hugs.
God is so good! I’m so glad to hear everything is okay!
Oh my goodness! I’m so glad he’s alright! Thank God for answered prayer and protection!
