Happy St. Patrick's Day! I hope you all have had your fill of corned beef & cabbage!

After a month of hospital food and take out, we were so happy to eat real food again! I wanted to let you all know, we made it home. The trip took two days, which we had planned. We went nice & slow, stopped whenever we needed to, and still made good time. Our friend, Ron Kunhert stayed in Mississippi until we were able to travel, then he brought Jeff home in his motor home.

Jeff was able to lay down in the bed for the whole trip, which he managed well. We decided to stop and rest, and "ride out the storm" in a Missouri rest area just inside the bootheel. There was a lot of lightning, wind and rain that night, and driving through it, tired, did not sound smart.

But we enjoyed the show!

Upon arrival, we had family and friends ( and the local EMTs) to assist us into the house, and have spent today recuperating.

Jeff is resting in the living room currently, and wanted me to be sure and let you all know how truely thankful we are for all your support and prayers, and how blessed we feel to have friends and prayer partners like you. Many of you sent emails or texts at just the right moments, encouraging us, me especially! It is amazing how many people answered the call for prayer!

And thank you, Roger, for your daily reminders of God's love and provision! They are so appreciated!

We now have the rehab days ahead of us, and rebuilding his strength is going to take determination and perserverance. But we know that the Lord will be with us, and make us strong again, in His time. (Thanks, Ivan, for the gentle reminders!)

Thank you all, and may the Lord bless each one of you!
Jeff & Jeannie Pursley
