But God!

I have not been able to post the last few days because I have spent much of that time at the hospital with one of my members. Tuesday morning, Clyde Smith was taken to Piedmont with chest pains and a sick stomach. By evening it was discovered that he had in fact had a mild heart attack. Wednesday he went in for some tests and we were told that there was nothing they could do because his heart was too weak. Clyde will be 92 the end of Febuary. He has lived through the battles of WWII and by all means has lived a full life. He has been a minister of the Gospel for over 60 years and has planted two churches in Rock Hill. He is a man that I admire and look up too. Wednesday night he took a turn for the worst and had to be put on a ventilator. They would have to shock his heart multiple times through the night and early morning. By yesterday morning the family decided not to take those measures anymore and to let life take its course. BUT GOD!!!!!! By lunch time yesterday his vitals were stable and last night they took him off the breathing machines. This morning he shook my hand and wept. The docters admit that it was the grace of God. the nurse said he has never seen anything like this before. I just want to remind you today that no one has the last say in your life but God. As long as we leave all things in His hands, He is able to keep us. There is not anything too hard for Him. I rejoice today that God is still in control!!!!
