Dear Dave and Irene:

Just a note to tell you how much I love you and to assure you that I continue to pray for BOTH of you.  Marsha told me that she read several case studies that were very positive. I have heard several testimonies lately on TV about healing.  I feel that the Lord touched me due to so many people praying and my recovery is faster than the doctors expected.  The first night that I was home from the hospital, the chorus kept going through my mind, “I am the Lord that healeth thee” and such a peace came over me.  That is the only line of the chorus that I know, but it is enough.  I am going to sing and believe, “I am the Lord that healeth Irene.”

I know Dave, from experience, this is not easy for you either.  I think sometimes it is easier to be sick than to be the caretaker and advocate for your wife.  It is so hard to see your loved one sick and having to go through so many tests and painful times.  I pray that He will give you the added strength and wisdom that you need and that His peace and love will surround both you and Irene.

Much love,

Martha
