Got a chance to take pictures today of Stu standing with his therapist, Dale.
Pretty heartwarming, isn't it?
Last time I saw this, it brought a scripture to mind, from Ephesians 6:13-14 I remembered
noticing that in that passage, in my NIV translation, the word "stand" appeared three times in just two sentences. "Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm, then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace".
Here's what I jotted down in my journal that day:
"As I read through Ephesians, with all the standing references, I wonder if, in a way, our souls are as weak as Stu's body-----if the Holy Spirit is our "Dale", energetic and encouraging, wrapping the belt around our middle and reminding us that we do indeed have strength in our muscles to stand. Like Stu, we are only able to do it for short periods at first-----but more and more with His help"
Praying that as we are strengthened and encouraged by God's work in us, we will stand tall and give thanks with joy!
