It was so good to see you at Pandora's table a week ago, Rod! Hope to see you this Tuesday morning when you check in because John Ratakowski will be there with me to say "good morning" and we appreciate SDA and its staff.

Dear Rod,
So happy to get an update and hear all the great news! Yes, so much to be thankful for in the midst of this storm. You shared something in your post that was nearly verbatim from a book called ‘Suffering’ from Paul Tripp. I Highly recommend it. The author Paul follows the example of the Apostle Paul by sharing with the Corinthian church not the details of the affliction itself, but the spiritual affect of the suffering, (2 Corinthians chapter 1.) That transparency allows the Body of Christ not only insight on suffering, but can guide and direct prayers for you, and for others in the future. Thank you for sharing the area that was the darkest-the fear. Now, we Saints, will pray more affectively and fervently.

Rod, it’s so refreshing to hear of positive results from your treatments. You have had a rough 6 months but you have stayed so positive. Still praying that your health keeps improving and you can enjoy the Holidays!

Praise the Lord! He is good. Your report is such good news. We are grateful.

This is wonderful news! I haven’t stopped praying for you. I am so happy to know that you are working again, that surely will bring you a lot of joy! I’m praising God for answered prayer and for returning your body to almost full health! So happy that you shared this with us on Thanksgiving. May you continue to feel God‘s presence as you return to perfect health. Yes and amen!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Sending love filled hugs and gratitude to you all.

While expressing thanks, you communicate joy and optimism. Thanks to you, Rod.

I love that Rod. Your post is the first thing I read this Thanksgiving morning. What a great way to start the day, especially today.

Faith , hope and love...they're all pretty great!!!

Happy Thanksgiving my friend.

Beautiful words Rod. Love you brother. So glad you are here with us!

Happy thanksgiving, Keillor family. We are so thankful to have you in our lives. Praise God for bringing you through and for giving you the will to find hope so you could fight like you did. Enjoy your day with your family, you all deserve a wonderful day of feeling thankful.
