I Forgot the Biggest Tender Mercy.....

The church wants to know your complete medical history down to your hangnails and ingrown toenails.  The paperwork your doctor fills out has to have every question answered.  One of Byron's blood tests came back slightly elevated.  the doctor said he would watch it, but Byron told him that we were probably leaving the country for a couple of years and didn't know where in the world we would be.  At that statement our doctor immediately refused to sign our papers until we had everything thoroughly checked out.  We had a life saving experience.  One of Byron's associates had the same condition and just found out that he is terminal.  As hard as these last 12 months have been, this has truly been a Tender Mercy!
