Joyce had a peaceful, painfree night last night and day so far. She wakes up briefly when we give her her medications every 4 hours and was able to have a few bites of solid food this morning - but nothing but a few sips of water throughout the day so far. We've had a lot of family at the house today and it's been a real blessing having them all around - we are blessed to have a loving close biological family as well as our agape spiritual family.
Please continue to pray for God's mercy on Joyce. We know He has an appointed time for her.
In His Arm's,
Pat

Hey Pat,
ReplyDeleteIt was VERY nice getting to see you today and hear an update. I can't help but realize how God HAS answered prayers. And how He guides us according to His will when we're faithful to keep seeking Him with life's challenges. God's faithfulness and goodness is spurring me on to keep praying for those specific desires and needs of your heart Pat. Gregg and I love you. The staff loves you and Joyce so much. But God has us all beat for sure.
Kenney's,
ReplyDeleteOur family is lifting yours up continuously in prayer. We LOVE you all so much and are weeping with you during this painfully hard time. God knows all, we are all just passing through here ON THE WAY to something GLORIOUS!
God bless you all Kenney family and may God bless and comfort you through it all. Please give Joyce a kiss and hug from me (D1).
LOVE YOU VERY MUCH,
Curry Family
Your brothers and sisters from Calvary Chapel Vista are with you in prayer...
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for Joyce and the rest of the family over here in London. God is with you guys!
We love you.
I thank God for His peace that surpasses understanding and His comfort when we are hurting. I long to see Joyce and tell her how much I love her and to make her laugh again. I am so thankful that you are all there together, that is an answer to many of my prayers for you. He is faithful, and we don't know how to pray, you Know Jesus Himself and Holy Spirit are interceding on your behalf. May His grace, mercy and peace abound, so that you see His footprints everywhere. Kiss my friend, tell her I am coming soon. We love you all Kenney family,

Each day is a blessing and gift from the Lord, and times of lucidity even more precious. We pray that you have many more of these. Hold fast to Him, He is holding you tighter than ever. Lord, please reveal Yourself in a mighty way to this beautiful family. You love them and have a perfect plan for each one. Allow Your love and mercy to be seen through this family as you carry them through this difficult time and may they be blessed with Your "love with skin on it" as You surround them with friends and family. Minister to their needs as only You can. May the God of all comfort be with you now.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord continue to lift you up and alleviate your fears with His love and grace. Truly, His grace is sufficient.
Love and prayers in Jesus,
Todd, Rachel, Raylene and Chet in Heaven
Pat & Joyce,
ReplyDeleteYou two are always in our prayers and thoughts. We love you two so deeply and are sorry we couldn't be closer that we could help out more.
A big hug and kiss to Joyce and you from us.
Blessed Be His Name
Mike and Mira

Pat and Joyce, Having had numerous times over the last several years where my worst fears were realized and everything I prayed for turned out the opposite, I have found it incredredibly hard, deeply painful, and God incredibly faithful to walk me through it, as well as the ones I love. As I am writing this I am starting to cry as I want to communicate to you that your grief is shared by my heart, and your spirits held up in my prayers (as I know it is with so many). For several nights now I have wakened up repeatedly with you on my mind to pray for. May you tangibly know the Lord's arms wrapping you as you walk through this right now.-Pat, my father has been aching for you in that helpless way men so often feel when a friend they care for is hurting. I just thought you would want to know that.
