Journal entry by Jackie and John Shields

“I will praise You because I have been fearfully and wonderfully made”. Psalms 139:14

Considering our year of Covid and present winter weather, it seems the timing calls for good news! John is doing great! He is gaining strength, walking with a cane (without further assistance) and looking forward to getting back on the Vanderbilt schedule for the vaccine! Daughter Missy quarantined 2 full weeks to be able to visit a few days.....which lengthened because of our winter storm and road conditions! So the kitchen boasts a second cook and all around help! We agree if someone else cooks, the food is always better! 
We are grateful for ongoing good medical support, a warm house and power....and plenty to eat! 
Except for the ongoing basics, it looks like I am close to being out of a job! Praise God! John is indeed wonderfully made, both physically and in spirit. He has set the bar high for working hard to be well!

We are thankful for each of you and all of you! Every gift, be it a call, a text, an email, a snail mail card, an errand, food or, most importantly, prayer....all have provided a support that can’t be characterized by words. You know.

Stay warm and safe......spring should be here soon, we can hope!
