Ohio Trip - Day 1 and 2

Day One - Traveling to Ohio. My dad had a stroke and is in rehab at St. Rita's Hospital in Lima, OH. I traveled from Florida on Tuesday, April 16. My sister, Rachel, flew in from Oregon and I picked her up at the airport in Cincinnati/Kentucky. We arrived about 9:30pm to my parents' home.

One of the times we were stuck in traffic. Tennessee and Kentucky - so pretty!! I couldn't take many pictures since I was driving but I did capture this one. Signs of spring.

Gas at Buc-cee's - $3.19.

Buc-cee's is just a fun stop on a road trip!

Gas was $3.27.

Wednesday morning, April 17

Our first full day in Ohio - Day 2. I thought it would be fitting to use this cup I got for my mom years ago when we lived in Nevada. Good memories.

It was a rainy first day in Ohio. With a tornado watch! Crazy midwest spring weather.

One goal we had was to change the office at my parent's home into a first floor bedroom for my dad once he returns from rehab. In transferring some items into storage, we found some real gems like cards and notes from all the grandkids. Here are a couple cards from Addie and Autumn several years ago.

I loved this - Papa preaching and Nana in the audience. :)

The chicken stickers she used for quail! I just love this because it brings back so many memories of our years in Reno.

We worked at the house and later in the afternoon went to visit Dad in the hospital.

Friends - the Schaffer family - Haley, Stephanie, Justin, and Earl - came to visit Dad. We are grateful for their friendship!

After their visit, Tim Jewell brought my dad's church members to visit. Tim, Jim Grubaugh, Mary Saylor, Harold, and Revella Buchanan. Tim is preaching for my dad while he is in rehab. We are grateful for their faithfulness through the years.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
