APRIL 2023 Letter LIVING WELL

At our age, any kind of update starts with a health report!

Ed is doing well since his knee replacement in January. He still has pain and swelling but is getting around much better. Thank you for your prayers! Please continue to pray for his progress.

Donna had COVID for the first time in March. Thought she was immune! Ha! Her version of COVID included a nasty cough but she is much better now. And we are both struggling with allergies this time of year. . . like most Oklahomans!

As we write this letter, our colleague in Zambia, Brother Charles, is having some serious urological issues. Even though they have a major hospital in Ndola, they seem unable to deal successfully with his problem. He is seeking more skilled help in Lusaka, the capital. We will update on his condition by email. Please pray for his recovery.

A question that we posed recently – Do you know Christians who attend church and read their Bible, but have unhappy marriages?

What would be your answer? In our years of marriage counseling, we have seen many couples who fit that category. Most of us have seen Christian couples who divorce.

Many people think that if couples in distress will read the Bible and pray, everything will be ok. But very often they aren’t.

What is missing? There are many answers to that question, but the big one is that they don’t know how to apply the Word to their situation.

As individuals or as the church, how can we help those couples?

We have some suggestions. Most people will not seek counseling or they wait until the marriage is hard to save. But friends, colleagues, and fellow class members can give encouragement and direction to help avert some of the marriage crises.

Please let us know how you are doing. Our office is only open by appointment but you can email us at info@livingwellokc.org. We are no longer taking new appointments, but will see people that we have seen in the past. THANK YOU again for your continued prayers, support, and encouragement. We could not do what we do without YOU!

Our love in Christ,

Donna and Ed Edwards

P.S. Please pray for our health and wisdom as we minister here and long-distance with WISDOM Christian School.

The water that I will give him

will become in him

a well of water springing up to eternal life.

LIVING WELL is a life source, not a life style.
