"May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You. Psa, 33:20-22

"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You." Psalm 33:20-22 On August 31, 2008, Charles (Bud) and my world was shaken. News from our family in Tirana, Albania, shocked us. Our little grand daughter, Whitney Laine, sustained a most serious injury to her right eye. What we call a "freak accident", we are learning was God's loving way to have us learn to truly wait in hope for Him, to rejoice from the depths of our hearts in Him and to trust in His holy name. Many doctor's, many airplane trips to many countries, many tests, many eye drops, many eye patches, many tears and the faithful love of a mother, Whitney has had more life lessons and experiences than most 9 year old girls. Whitney's retina specialist in Houston, Texas. Whitney's eye specialist in Istanbul, Turkey. Whitney's air evacuation, via Red Star from Tirana, Albania to Istanbul, Turkey. Chelle and Whitney in the American Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. And who would have guessed on May 23rd, 2008, Whitney's 9th birthday, that God would have plans to prosper her and give her a hope through an avenue not yet realized. The ways of the Lord are perfect and who can doubt it? Blessed be the Lord God Almighty! Whitney, GranBud and Grammie love you so much. We will continue to pray for your complete healing. Our prayer is that as you trust in Jesus as your Savior you will always know in your heart that it is He Who preserved your sight so that you might thank Him with your life. To our dear family, who stands firm in the hope of God, the help of God, under the shield of God and in His unfailing love, we say.......we love you dearly. What a testimony you all have been to us of your faith. Love to you and thanksgiving to God, Charles (Bud) and Mom GrandBud and Grammie
