When we get done being stunned by what is happening to us enough to reach out and do something for someone else, then a bit of heaven happens on earth, and our burden is not as harsh.
It is the way God is glorified and revealed to a hurting world.

What a great thing for him to do!
BIG HUGS to him!
I have a sister in law that has become blind to diabetes and is fighting the disease every day just to stay alive. Docs said back when she lost her sight that she would probably only live another 5 years. Well? It's been 18 years!

Tell your DH that he is doing a wonderful service! My DH was diagnosed this week with Type 2. I don't even know where to start learning about whtat to do next....I feel like we are living a nightmare after all the stuff he's been through in the last couple of years. For your DH to get his arms around it all..(his surgery, recovery, diabetes diagnosis, weight loss, etc) and do this for the kids...KUDOS to him! :lol:
