An Encouraging Word

We have been overwhelmed by the love and support of so many through phone calls, emails, and cards during the last few days. Thank you so much for your concern and, most of all, for your prayers.

Sunday was a very encouraging day for us. We enjoyed worship and a special time of prayer and Scripture reading with our precious church family at Grace Fellowship. We were so glad that Andrew & Sarah and Anna Lee & Locke were home for the week-end to be a part of that. :)

Aaron has been talking with other men who have had the same or similar situations. We have been very encouraged to hear of their stories and recoveries. We are learning what to expect with this surgery and the radiation that will probably follow. It will be a slow and painful process for sure, but we are thankful that this cancer is cureable.

We praise God for finding this cancer early on; for Dr. Magnuson and the team at UAB and our close proximity to them; for flexibility at the office; for the kindness of friends and family; for our church; for the prayers of the saints; and for the goodness and faithfulness of God!
We're still set for surgery on the 27th...so keep praying!
Psalm 121
In Him,
The Acker Family

Jennie Wall here.
I am numbed by this news. It might as well be my own brother, Aaron.
I am also so confident in the GOODNESS of GOD that I anticipate with great hope the testimony that He will place on your lips concerning His purpose for this journey.
Please be assured of our deep love for you and your precious family and of our prayers for your bountiful recovery. We are at your service for whatever is needed day or night.
Much Love,
Jennie and Bill
