Aaron and I have seen these past couple weeks how the Lord has been working. About a week ago our landlord, Phil, passed away. His blood pressure got too high and it caused a stroke. The next day the bleeding in his brain had stopped and the doctor said he would have a full recovery. The bleeding started again and the doctor said there was nothing that could be done. We went down last Saturday to Evansville to visit him and his wife, Sharon, in the hospital. He was in a coma and she was just sitting next to him holding his hand. He passed away that Sunday afternoon. Through all of this, we now see why we ended up being able to move into our house, with them as neighbors. We are able to help Sharon whenever she needs. I was wondering if she would take us up on our offer to help, but just this morning she asked Aaron if he could take her trash to the end of the driveway. Throughout these past couple of weeks, different members of their family and church members have said how glad they are that we will be so close. Phil was a sweet man and he had such a love for the Lord. We are going to miss him but we are looking forward to spending more time with Sharon and knowing her more.
