Many of us are going through “care-giving”, but right now I’m thinking about Lindia.

Received the following update from Treva Schlosshan:
Please have everyone remember Bill & Lindia in their prayers. I spoke to Lindia & it seems Bill has been in the hospital recently. He was given only 24 hours to live at that time, but 2 weeks later was back home with hospice care. He is very weak & sleeping a lot, but still able to talk to Lindia. Fred took him a gift by the house Christmas Eve, but he was asleep at that time, so he did not get to visit with him. Lindia called me later & said that she thought he was just trying to make it through Christmas. It will not be long before the Lord calls him home & Lindia gave me permission to have everyone updated. This has to be so difficult for them & prayers will be appreciated.
