A few months ago, my dad had an accident at his work, cutting two of his fingers off.
He told me a story of how he went to the doctors in Hobart a few weeks ago, and while he was waiting outside the hospital to be picked up he met a man. He was very nice and they talked for a while. My dad asked him why he was here and he said, " I have had lots of headaches these last couple of months and I was just coming to get a checkup. So they gave me a scan and found 7 brain tumors."
Even though my dad had a horrible accident, he said it felt like a scratch to him compared to the man with the 7 brain tumors.
From then on my dad told himself not to give up because he knows God is looking after him and this has happened for a reason.
2 Chronicles 15:7 "But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
Today my dad is going really well, gardening and getting a chicken coop out the back. He can stretch his hand a bit more each day and is about to start using a Dobro, a musical instrument used in country music.
My Dad is my hero, he amazes me each and every day and I'm so proud of him.
Love your work, Eli! What an inspirational post. Keep living ur faith and following God's direction. He'll take u amazing places.
