Praise & Thanks

An old friend of Darren and mine had a terrible family tragedy recently. His 15 year old son, Cooper, was drinking with friends and had way too much. Yes, I said 15!! The short of the story is that he threw up and then aspirated. Rushed to the hospital they did not know whether he would live or die. They put him in a forced coma to let his body heal and they waited to see if he would recover and if so how much brain damage he would have. This is where the praise and thanks be to our glorious God is. As of today, Cooper is out of the coma, off the machines and will be moved to a regular room sometime today or tomorrow. The doctors are astonished at his recovery. They thought the best case scenario would be that he would be in the hospital through September. They are talking about releasing him really soon. "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man" Psalm 118:8

WOW!!! Can you just scream?! God is AWESOME!! This is just another reminder that God is in control, not us.

I used this as a teaching moment with Kennedy. I shared Cooper's experience with drinking and also how God was there for him. Right after I told Kennedy how he is doing she immediately said "praise God".
