The Lord shows compassion

For men are not cast off
by the Lord forever.

Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.

For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to the children of men.

Lamentations 3:31-33

My Grandfather became ill a few days after Christmas. He was not eating, and could not hold down what he would eat. His doctor had him go to the hospital to run some tests, they originally thought it was an ulcer. It turns out it was much more and he has terminal cancer. He has not eaten since being admitted to the hospital and is hooked up to IV fluids. Tonight he was admitted to the ICU because of fluid in his lungs and he was coughing up bile. My Grandfathers days are coming to an end, my family is slowly dwindling.

I love you Grandpa Phil.
