Boards at the hospital

A few weeks ago, a man called Bengt, who was on his way through town, came by our house with some boards and moulding. His family had gone through the same thing – their house had burned – in the beginning of January this year. Now they have a planing mill, and wanted to bless us with skirting-board, cornice and window cases. Bengt and his little daughter came with various samples. Very attractive moulding.

Amelie and I were going up to Håkan for an evening visit. We went by the house and picked up boards and moulding. I don’t know if it’s so usual to come with boards to the hospital, but by the way people looked at us, it seemed a little unusual. Håkan was happy for the board visit, and that he can participate in the construction of the house. The joy that comes from knowing that someone is blessing us in this way was icing on the cake, as we say.

The staff laughed at us when we went home with our boards under our arms, wondering what we’d planned to build on the unit.

Now one more thing is decided for the re-construction of the house. Today, Dan and Arne are on site again after vacation, and are looking at how the work on the house should be organized.

A big thanks to Bengt and his family, who thought about us and wanted to give to us. Thank you, Lord, for brothers and sisters who share with us – bless them back.

Håkan is continuing to work on occupational and physical therapy every day. Training and more training…results in skill!

“And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” Col. 1:18-20

God bless you also!
