Dear Irene and Dave,
It’s been wonderful to read your news these last few days, and I really enjoyed the Lessons Learned. I thank God that you’re home, Irene, and pray to God to continue to provide all that you need for a steady recovery.

Good evening!!
Sometimes our experience is more of a choice than a feeling…
If yesterday was a GREAT day for Irene physically, and it was, we are choosing today to say that “…this is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it…” (Psalm 118:24)
In other words, it is a CHOICE to say that it is a good day. Even when we don’t FEEL like it is, we will DECIDE to rejoice and be glad in it because Irene has physically struggled today. Her energy level is low and she feels very nauseated and uncomfortable…thank you for your continued care and concern for her welfare.
We’re so grateful that Dave and Laura Gschwend brought us dinner this evening. In fact, it was more than dinner; it is a feast and enough food for days!!
The Gschwend’s also graced Irene with a “hosanna!music” CD featuring Paul Wilbur. Laura is a cancer survivor and called this her “chemo CD” that “took me through many hard times—…” I am certain that Irene will enjoy it in the days to come!
We do hope that tomorrow brings us more emotional connection to the verse above, because, hopefully, Irene will be FEELING better!!
In the meantime, sometimes our life experience is a choice, so we choose today to say that “this is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Caminando con Fé

Hi Dias Family,
How wonderful it is to get these updates knowing you are home and Irene is improving. I am so blessed to read todays message from Dave. The wisdom you have shared today is so important. It is hard to believe that you would need people and prayer so much when everyone is healthy and life is going well. Your support base is a testimony to how you have lived your lives in Christ. Thank you for sharing your lives – your struggles, fears and your unending hope and reliance upon our Savior. What a resource your experience can be for others that are faced with crisis and don’t know what to do. Can’t wait for Irene to be well enough to do an update for us.
Praying for you daily – Betty Fairhurst
