Oh what a wonderously wonderful surprise. He looks soo good. How that must have warmed your heart. Isn't it something that we live in such a time that something like this is possible? I just want you to know that the Lord has spoken to my heart to lift you and your children up every day in prayer. I am praying specifically for the anxiety right now, but please let me know if there is anything more in particular I can for. Have a wonderful day Lois. Hugs to you, Deb

Morning Lois,
What a nice picture of Phil. I bet that made your heart skip a beat!!
Nice to see he looks well, sorta smiling like you say. I know it really helped our friends when their son was in Iraq to be able to see him, cause you can tell a lot by their countenance.
It is good they keep them so busy in a way, cause they don't have time to think about home that much, course, I am sure it is still hard!
Hope you are feeling way better by now hon. I am sure the site of Phil perked you up a bit. That was a sweet surprise from your Heavenly Dad!!
Have a super day,
Thanks for sharing his Photo, it was nice for us to see too, since we pray for him all the time.
Love and Blessings sweet friend,
Nellie
