From Jacqueline

A few days before Christmas, Sami was feeling very ill :( We literally thought 
we were losing him :( His blood pressure dropped significantly, he had a high 
fever and went into a semi-coma. 

However, on Christmas Day, he suddenly woke up! All his vital signs became 
normal and he started communicating with us. He asked for water and 7up, ate an 
orange, a banana and some ice cream! Even his WBC went down a few thousands! 
That was a true miracle and a special Christmas gift from above to our family! 
We chatted and spent a sweet time together. 

However the last four days, Sami has been in a deep coma. More than ever, we are 
praying and trusting God's perfect plan for him...

We love you and appreciate your support. We know God is good all the time and 
Sami is and will always be in HIS GRIP!

Psalm 73:26 
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my 
portion forever."

Love, Jacqueline

    My prayers and thoughts are with you Sami and Jacqueline. On Christmas day, Christ touched your life as He always does, and In His Grip we are always safe. Sami is held gently in Jesus’ arms and He is protecting him and will get him through this. Sami will soon ask for more water and 7-Up, and more oranges and ice cream. He is in all our prayers. He is our inspiration and guiding light. Stay strong sweet Jacqueline. Love you all so much.

    We haven’t stopped praying for you. You are in our daily prayers. Jesus said “I’m always with you”. Be strong and don’t lose faith, Jesus is still the same; Yesterday, today & tomorrow. Don’t be afraid from tomorrow, Jesus is already there. Stay positive, be the strong person that God created you as you have always been.
    We love you sooooooooooooooo much. God is good.

    It is wonderful to see how the Lord is comforting your hearts. What happened with you on Christmas is a wonderful testimony of the Lord’s love for you, Sami, and your sweet family. I pray that the Lord will help us see this situation from His glorious perspective. Sami is in safe hands. Our Lord is in charge and He promised saying, ” I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Heb 13:5). We are praying for you always. You are a blessing to all who are reading your posts.

    Thank you for this message on Epiphany, the day of bringing the Good News of the new Christ to the gentiles, so that they too would know that he came for them — that they too were chosen by God. Sami has been chosen by God, believes in God and God’s plan, and is being watched over by God. He is a faithful servant and a wonderful husband, father, and good friend. May God be with you this day and all the rest of your lives, and thank you so much for sharing your courageous journey of faith and prayer with us all.

    My deepest sympathies to Jackie and the kids. What a special “warrior for Christ” Sammy was. I feel privileged to have taught SS with him at Sugar Creek. What a role model! Looking forward to seeing you again in heaven sometime in the future.
    In His Grip, Donnie
