So much great news to share:
On Valentines Day, we got the news that we will have a new MALE addition to our family in July. Yes, Meredith of Mississippi will be giving birth to a baby boy. The Hendley name survives another generation and Pastor Andrew
rejoices. It a busy season for the MS Hendleys, but they are very grateful for how the Lord is prospering their life and ministry in Brookhaven. We delight with them in all that God is doing!
That very same weekend, Hannah made another huge personal trek as she left her brother's family, her church where she worked, as well as her adopted state, and returned to Central Florida. She is now back living in Melbourne where she is "in relationship" with Dominic Foti and.... once again, gainfully employed. Hannah has been hired by Christian Care Medi-Share, where so many of our friends work. That means all four of the Hendley children are in
great jobs and for that we praise the Lord. Now for more news from recent months....
This has been quite a season of maternal focus for Dan and Beth. Beth's mother, after her stroke last summer, and subsequent moves, decided to try assisted living. She transitioned over the Christmas Holiday to Dogwood Forest of Marietta, GA near Beth's sister, Brook. She is still disabled on her left side, and in need of much care and attention, but enjoys a sharp mind and the love of her friends and family. We just received the good news that her kidney mass is not growing, which means no surgery at this time. For now, Ginny can still receive rehab at Dogwood, so she continues
to focus on gaining as much mobility as possible with use of a hemi-walker. She also appreciates the social and musical activities that provide her such daily encouragement and enjoyment. Beth just returned home from another lovely week with her mom, a gift that she treasures dearly.
Dan's mother, after a lengthy hospital stay in December, decided she could no longer live alone. So Dan and Beth took ten days in January to move her around the corner into her assisted living arrangement. Granmimi is missing her independence but still gets out to play bridge and have dinner with her supper club. She too is learning to enjoy bingo and her friends at Emeritus of Ocala.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch in Houston, Sarah Beth is planning for the end of her one- year fellowship at MD Anderson. That means a job search for a position as nurse practitioner in the field of pediatric oncology. She has
possibilities around the country. Pray for peace and wisdom as she assesses her future. Sarah continues to run like crazy and just finished her fifth marathon!
The Pittsburgh Hendleys are hoping Spring is near and enjoying proclaiming and serving Jesus at church and school, in the community, and at Loafers Bread Company. We are greatly looking forward to being grandparents for the second time this summer, as we await the birth of Lylah's baby brother in July!
The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy.
