Thanks a Million!!!
Hi Everybody
I'm back !!!! and able again to write this blog. Thanks to Helen who has kept you all up-to-date with my progress, and the stories happening around me. As you know I came home Tuesday, each day I'm feeling stronger, I'm still quite weak need a couple of sleeps each day, but able to get up and have a very very short walk most days.
Thanks a million for your prayers, cards, phone calls, balloon; flowers and fruit baskets.
God's presence and power has been so real and only having to spend 7 nights in hospital an obvious testimony to his restoring power.
These verses from Ps. 138 have been a real source of strength to both Bren and myself during the last couple of weeks and I want to share them with you.
I will give thanks to your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness
because your promises are backed by all the honour of your name.
When I pray you answer me; you encourage me by giving me the strength I need.
Psalm 138: 2 - 3

Of all of God's qualities his Love and Faithfulness perhaps are the things we've valued the most, certainly the last stanza has proved to be true in my case, when I've prayed I have been encouraged by finding my strength being hourly renewned. What a wonderful God we serve!!
Next week I will be ready for visitors - but could I ask that you ring before coming just to check we have not got a house full.
Thanks again for all your Love and concern for me and Bren and our family.

Good news that you're feeling well enough to cope with these modern monstrosities again.
I'm still a little suspicious about the reason you were home so soon: are you sure you were released, and not expelled? Was it for your benefit, or the staffs?
Now, do you still need further proof that God still works miracles? Careful how you answer that; I think He's got an interesting sense of humour.
Thanks FredGS for your comments. However I would really like to know who you are. This blog was created so that my family, friends and church members can keep up-to-date with my progress and place comments in an open and frank way.
I at least need to know your true identity. You can contact me on blog or tony.tween@aol.com

Great to hear from you and to learn how God has sustained both Brenda and yourself during this testing time.
I could do with a couple of sleeps a day and I'm just suffering from a mince pie overdose. Perhaps I can offload some when we visit!!
All praise to God and your faith is an encouragement to us all.
Lots of love.....
Good to have you back, Boss! Haven't been to visit a la Chez Tween - John's had a dodgy tum - not the kind of pressie I think you need right now, eh?
Great is God's faithfulness...morning by morning new mercies we see...All we have needed His hand has provided - Amen!
Rest AMAP (As Much As Possible) - you're gonna need it!
LOL

PS - Gordon has asked me to preach Sunday night 15th Jan - your prayers would be appreciated!!
Have really enjoyed reading your blogs - you know once you start it's not so easy to stop. And please don't. Kev and I would love to see you time and effort permitting (that's yours not ours!! We certainly don't want you to be overwhelmed...)
A great verse too.
With love to all,

Hiya Tony
Great that you are home so soon. It's fantastic what God has done and I'm sure He's not finished yet!
Stay chilled and n:joy the time to just 'be still' with Him.
God bless

Yes what a Gopd we serve. Certainly he has answered prayer for you. Pleasse don't over do it, the nurse speaking. continue to have a qick recovery and rehabilitation. You are assured of my prayers.
Continuing to pray for your full recovery and that you will not try to do too much too soon....
Our House Group received a real blessing from the notes you prepared before your op. Importantly, the poignancy of the first study, written at a time when you were clearly facing up to your own 'problems', was not lost on us. God's faithfulness shines through.
Please do take it easy and kick back and rest for a little while more.
God bless......
God Bless you both. It's been great reading all your comments of encouragement - and of course l second all of them !! Still praying.
