Jackie Nichols GreggDavid E. Gregg 22 hrs · It has been a week now with my mom being here in ICU. She has improved a lot, but it is so hard to see her in such a week condition. In all my life I have never seen her like this. Last year my wife lost both of her parents 3 weeks apart and the Fall before my brother-in-law lost his mother. That passed through my mind many times as I watched my mother struggling in the early days of recovery. I felt so helpless, but I could pray and God gave me peace. What a comfort it is to know that God is right there with us. I watched my dad as he stood praying silently by her bedside and knowing how hard it was for him too. We have been praying and witnessing to many here at the hospital. I was asked to pray with a mans wife that has Mad Cow disease. My wife is going to die today, he said to me. As I walked into the room there was this very young lady, in a comma, and struggling for life. I prayed for her and her husband and then returned to the waiting room and he to a future without the woman he loves. Then I thanked God for the improvements mom had made. We have also prayed with a grandmother whose grandson has overdosed. Here is one set on dying, while others are struggling to live. Then there are those that we have prayed with for their loved ones and then watched them wheeled out in a zipped up black bag. Where are they now is the thought that races through my mind. Did they know Christ as their Savior? Did they go to the Lord in prayer? Once again I gave thanks to God for knowing that if God chose to take my mom I would see her again in my future home. I do not know what the tomorrow holds here on this earth, but I do know Who holds tomorrow and I know He holds my hand. Therefore we can praise the Lord in the midst of our storms.
