The Chambers family has had a eventful 4th of July weekend. Starting off Friday the 3rd. My MIL Jenny Chambers and SIL Arica Box had a bad wreck in Grenada, Ms. Arica was flown out to Jackson she had a deep laceration on the of her head which took 3 staples and a small brain bleed. After the family left Jackson I took my MIL Jenny Chambers to Charleston Er to get checked out. Everything was good with her she had a great Doctor. She is just banged up really bad. We appreciate all the Prayers, calls, texts, visits. The good lord was in charge that day. Let me tell you those 2 ladies are definitely God’s favorites. Me and Adam cooked out Saturday and had company over that we so enjoyed. We had food to feed Jenny and mawmaw Bettysue and enough for Arica and John Box when they came home from the hospital Sunday. The whole family needs prayers for recovery. We had one family member witness it, hear it, and one that drove up on it. Very traumatic situation for us all. Please just keep us in your prayers.
Thought for the day:
“A woman is like a tea bag: You can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”
