Asking God For Help IS Worth the Time

Waiting to hear how things went when a loved one has had critical surgery can be quite traumatic - we've been through it too often... It represented destiny. To answer meant to know what life beyond that moment held in store, And as he paused in trepidation, terrified to learn what all of us might wind up crying for, Brother David spouted, “Steven, we’re as scared as you, but desperately need to know, so...take the call,” As he and Grant sat petrified while clearly knowing why their trembling older brother’d chose to stall. Caller-ID identified the caller as the surgeon, who’d promised them she’d do her very best, And neither they nor husband William were at all prepared to face the pain of laying her to rest. Fin’ly...Steven tapped the icon used to source his calls - as all potential mourners held their breath - And when he quipped, “It’s Doctor Conroy,” each continued praying the call was not to tell them of her death. “Bless you, Doctor,” Steven sighed, “thanks so much for calling...‘flying colors’ doesn’t sound too bad! Each of us was praying hard...and all of us are thrilled...certainly no one more so than my dad. “She made it,” Steven bellowed, as the cheering filled the room, “the doctor says she’ll be as good as new," Then pointing toward the sky, he closed his eyes and rightly gave the one who’d helped her live His credit due. Jenny’s little escapade with battling carcinoma had dropped her many loved ones to their knees, And five ‘ll get ya’ twenty, pal, you’ll never meet a Jensen who…when it comes to praying...disagrees That asking God for help when things get tough is worth the time...in fact... they’ll swear it helped to save her life... And every day they give Him thanks for what they know He did to save their mom and rescue William’s wife!
