The Kingdom of God!

Last Friday, Håkan was at Sahlgrenska in Gothenburg, for an examination. The doctors have decided that both lower eyelids need to be operated on again, so that will be really good. Otherwise, Håkan’s eyesight is at risk. Håkan was satisfied with the decision and that they have taken this seriously, so his eyesight can be better.

This weekend I have been down in Halmstad, at ”The Building” Conference that the Salvation Army has there every year, at ”Gullbrannagården”. The plan was for both of us to be there and speak, but Håkan, of course, is still in the hospital, so I had to go without my husband.

The theme was ”The Kingdom of God”. Håkan and I sat and talked about it before Lotta and I drove down to the conference. I wrote it down and started my seminar with the Bible verse that Håkan got about the Kingdom of God which can’t be shaken to pieces and read excerpts from our conversation, so he could share a little, even though he couldn’t be there.

The whole weekend was absolutely fantastic. Lotta, who was with me, said it was the best she’s been a part of in a long time. The devotion and longing for more of God were enormous. The Salvation Army in Halmstad is such a good example, with many new families and singles who have experienced changed lives – powerful testimonies about what Jesus has done in their lives.

We drove straight to Håkan, told him how good we’d had it, about the wonderful meetings, good fellowship and what was shared. Naturally, we had a lot of greetings with us to Håkan.

Now it’s Monday evening and I’ve come home from visiting Håkan, who says that he will go to Sahlgrenska on Thursday, for an operation around his right eye on Friday. Today, an eye doctor in Uddevalla has sewn a couple of stitches in the eyelids which will help the eye until Friday.

Please stand with us in prayer, that this operation is successful.

God bless you!
Many hugs,
Gunilla
