I've been trying to think of some simple activities he can do alone or with us while he is gaining his strength back. Dad is funny, we have board games, but he is not interested in those. I thought about getting a picture of the Promise Land School and Church made into a jigsaw puzzle, but Mom said he told me he didn't want to work a puzzle either (I thought this was for sure a winner)...so, I'm at a loss right now. Any suggestions, please send your comments.
I speak as often as I can to my two siblings, Natalie and Dorian. They have been a blessing to me. Although neither can be with Dad like I can right now, they are active in decision making and moral support for Mom and I.
Natalie was able to visit Detroit a few weeks ago. She and Dorian are my "Aaron" and "Hur". They uphold my hands when I feel weak, like Aaron and Hur did for Moses. They keep me encouraged. They are the best intercessors I know, only second to the Queen, our Mom. Our mother, taught us how to pray, how to stand in the gap and stay on the wall for someone else.

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30
How about asking all that know about the Promise Land to send Uncle Lo, a letter about some favorite memories they had (or not so favorite and draw a picture of how they remember it. It would give him something to laugh at. I will ask the crew here, and if he does not feel like reading it someone can read it to him. I will ask the crew here to send something. It sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea! Ok all you bloggers; please send Dad a note about some of your best memories of Promise Land. You can even blog them if you'd like. But I think a hand written note would be special. That way he could read them again and again and not have to wait for me to power up his computer :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd if you're not from Promise Land please feel free to comment on this here blog. He'd love to hear from all of you.
Thanks.
And feel free to send pics!
