Dear OSLC members and friends,
Yesterday, I witnessed a miracle! My mom went into the hospital in Rochester on Sunday afternoon. She has blood clots in her lungs. There was also a strong possibility that she would need bypass surgery on her heart. After spending time with her on Sunday, I alerted friends on Facebook of her condition. My dad also has many health concerns—including cancer. Sunday night, my mom was lifted spiritually with an incredible peace. She could feel the prayers carrying her from Facebook connections as well as the prayer chain at Our Savior’s. To our amazement, her heart looked healthier on Monday. She was released from the hospital at 5 PM Monday night! I felt so very blessed to spend holy time with my parents on Sunday and Monday.

One thing my mom always says is: “The only thing you can take with you to heaven is people—invest in them!” She’s so right. It was holy to interrupt my schedule and just “be” with my parents. What a gift that we also celebrate pausing in our wider culture. Labor Day is coming up next Monday. On this day of rest, take notice of the people around you. Each day, invest in people. I also encourage you to participate in worship and many activities here at Our Savior’s. There are many deep friendships you may experience here. It is such a gift to be a part of a caring church. We are also family. | |
Thank you for your prayers for my sweet parents! They feel uplifted in spirit. We know that Jesus is the Great Physician. Thanks be to God! | |
