Homecoming Day

It's about 2:30pm and the MacCallister House is hopping in anticipation of Jerry's arrival home. The temporary wheelchair is here, the bed is being assembled, the ramp is ready.

Now all we need is Jerry.

As the family prepares and Jerry awaits his trip home, could you join us in praying for a few things?

Foremost, please pray for Jerry. Certainly, the drive home, especially the drive into camp and up to his house, is going to be extremely emotional. Pray that he would feel enveloped in the love of his home and neighbors, pray that he would feel safe, pray that he would be comfortable right away. Pray that tonight would be a "easy" one physically---that he would be free of nausea and pain, allowing him space to process everything emotionally.

Pray for Dennis and Katie. In the mayhem of "practicalities" that have been all around them, they have been somewhat distracted from the "emotional" aspects. But bringing Jerry home makes things "real" in tough way. Pray that that this arrival home would go smoothly; that everything would be ready. Not only the bed and chair and ramp, but also everyone's hearts and minds. Pray that they feel God's strength and hope holding them up, offering them courage and faith.

Pray for Josh, Janea and Jessica as they too arrive home to their brother. Pray that everything would feel "normal", that they camaraderie between the siblings would be at a high level---that lots of laughing and joy would abound.

Later tonight we'll try to put up some pictures of Jerry's arrival home. We can't wait.

Until later,
Marci
