Happy Father's Day

After a couple of weeks in the hospital, Dad is finally home again! He impressed his doctors during this recent stay by beating pneumonia, a collapsed lung, pericarditis (infection & extra fluid in the sac around his heart), surgery to insert two drainage tubes in his chest, an electric shock procedure to get his heart back into a normal rhythm, AND painful shingles.
Thank you for your fervent prayers - we know God heard and answered all our prayers, and we're once again so grateful for your continued encouragement and support!
Since he's been home from the hospital, my dad has been enjoying some time with the family. And our big news is that Baby Anderson finally got to meet his Grandpa!! This week was also the first time Grandma and Grandpa got to spend time with all six of their grandchildren together.
As you can imagine, there is no better medicine than arms filled with grandchildren!
It is a Father's Day week our family will always remember. We feel very blessed.
P.S. We also wanted to share some pictures of Dad from when we (Jenny, Emily, & Adam) were growing up.

Bob has set the example; his life has touched so many people and the testimony of his faith continues to shine the light of Jesus - this little light of mine - He is going to let it shine!
May you have the most blessed Father's Day ever!

Thanks for the update. We rejoice that Bob got back home and had such sweet times with the family, especially all six grandchildren.
Happy Father's Day, Bob!
We LOVE you and Patra.

Let me first start by saying I'm not nearly as articulate as you, so I will keep this short and sweet. I've been reading your blog on a weekly basis since learning of it from a friend last November, and I'm constantly blessed by your testimony - and that of your children. You have an adoring wife and beautiful family, and I wish you ALL a very happy Father's Day week!
God bless you!
Sincerely,
Zonya Hall
What a treat to finally meet Anderson. Talk about "bundles of joy"! And we love the pics! Glad to know you're home and enjoying your grandchildren.

Praise the Lord that you are back home again and have been able to spend time with the whole family! The picture of you two with all six grandchildren is precious!
As you fight the good fight of faith we pray that the Lord will give you much new strength. You have come through quite a mine field.
Hope Father's Day is a special and blessed celebration for you!
Love,
Tom and Margie
P.S. Love the family photos!
I recorded the song "My Dad" - some may remember it from the Donna Reed show - Paul Peterson sang it and I bought it a couple of years ago; what a priceless song.
