Update on Jake

This thunderstorm was taken at sunset,this past summer.

Today I will post the update exactly as I sent it out to friends and family.

God is our refuge and strength,

an ever present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

If it were not for this strength,how could we go on?

Jake and I feel Gods' strength bearing us up daily.

Another week has passed and I can see that Jake is getting more tired and uncomfortable.

He still eats a little at each meal and that is good.

He says that he has only very little pain,we praise God for that.

Some days the emotions run high,but this too is very understandable.

We have visits almost daily,people who come by to leave a few words of encouragement.

We want to thank each of you who pray so faithfully,we feel the power of those prayers.

To those of you who live lose enough to drop in,thanks for doing so.

Each visit is a blessing and we welcome them.

We also want to publicly thank those who drop off some food or other tokens of your love.

I would encourage anyone to stop in for a short visit,these visits shorten the day and give great encouragement.
 Thanks again for your love and prayers on our behalf,

      Jake and Ruth
