Its Rob's Son Andy here. On the 14th April 2007 Dad had a serious Stroke. Over the last 6 weeks we've been visiting Dad in hospital & encouraging him with scripture & prayer times. During all of this period Rob has been paralysed down his right hand side and his speech /vocabulary is very limited. (Photo is me half way down Great Gable which is where I was when the SMS message came through advising of Rob's illness)
In recent weeks Dad has made it clear that he would like to have his Blog updated to let others know of his current position. So here's a quick posting to honour his wishes and update you all. As you can imagine the last 6 weeks have been difficult for Rob and the rest of the Briars family and friends. There are loads of things that could be shared. Over 100 cards received and countless emails / messages of goodwill.
It goes without saying that we appreciate all the messages of support, prayers for healing and Bible texts.
On Monday 21st may we realised the link in the Bible to the period of 40 days representing trial & testing time to Gods people last Thursday (24th May) a number of us fasted & prayed for healing and that Jesus would now restore Rob after his 40 days of trial.
We now watch & pray for the answer to our (and your) prayers.
Must close off for now and go over and visit Dad.
More updates from me & Rob & Lorna's Daughter Helen are likely in the coming weeks. Mum isn't into PC's like Dad was so she'll have to dictate blogs to us for typing up !!!
Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.
