Those shoes were made for walking...

Allen and I had a good visit yesterday. Got there after church and we took in plates from Luby's. I took him liver and onions, he loves it, mac-n-cheese, green beans and punkin pie. He ate ALL of it, plus some cottage cheese and pineapple from the cafeteria. They grade him on how much he eats every day and she marked it at 100 percent before he finished the plate! LOL

And...
drum roll, please...
Allen took his first steps. We were holding onto him, but he was doing the stepping forward about six feet!!!!! It was so wonderful to see. He also learned how to stand and transfer to and from the chair and bed. Thank you, Lord Jesus! AND... his speech therapist was pleased with his reading and responding today. Last week was rough for him, too, but with the Lord's help he is overcoming!

God is so good to help us walk through the dark times and then show us the dawn. Thank you, Lord! As my friend, Debbie, told me tonight, our struggles and overcoming are cyclical. Like a small spiral we hit the hard times pretty often and then overcome with baby steps. Then, as we go around that spiral a little more time will pass before that overwhelmed time, until, Lord willing, we will be off this spiral. But life is like that, I suppose.
