Home in his own bed

Praise the Lord!  We have brought dad home. 

The past few days have been somewhat of a roller coaster for us with these last two-three days being quite a blessing.  As a family we've all been able to share really tender moments with dad that will be great memories for us to reflect on.  Each of us were able to share with dad what an amazing father....dad....he has been to each of us and a great husband he has been to mom. We were able to pray over each other, read scripture, and hear from dad and his insightful wisdom about life, parenting, marriage, etc.  We have even had dad crack a few jokes here and there.  Those moments were really a special gift from the Lord.....we are praying for many more moments like that. 

Below is an additional update from our dear friend Sherrie whose been updating additional prayer warriors:

"Each day is a glorious gift from God"!  These were Jeanne's words just now on the phone.  They are taking Mike home today!  This has been a roller coaster ride for the entire Grant family, to say the least.  Mike has been so close to death's door for several days this week only to take a positive turn yesterday.  PTL!  They are taking things one day at a time and thanking God for each moment they have with Mike.  He is still weak and has a battle ahead of him but he knows his days are in the Lord's hands and numbered by Him alone.  Please continue to pray for all of them as they face so many unknowns ahead.  They are so thankful for the love and prayers offered on their behalf for so many years.  Jeanne will let us know when Mike is able to receive visitors but calls, emails, cards etc are most welcome.  I'll keep you updated as things change. Thanks for standing in the gap!

Blessings,
Sherrie
