Over two years ago, a now dear friend (whom I hardly knew at the time) came with her family to stay with us while they traveled through Oklahoma. In the time since, I've grown to love Marla so, so much and I miss her and her sweet family terribly, often bemoaning the outrageous unfairness that Oklahoma and Ohio are so close in the alphabetical line-up of states but so, so far from each other in miles.
Early this morning, we found out via Facebook that Marla's husband Gabe had a heart attack last night. It seems so unreal to even type those words. He is in recovery now, tired and sore.
Marla is one of the most praying people I've ever met. She's constantly partnering with people in prayer over any and everything. If you are the praying type, would you join us in praying over the Tavianos today and in the days to come? Pray that Gabe would be able to rest and they would have wisdom as they proceed with his recovery. Pray as the Lord leads you.
And maybe give an extra squeeze to the people who surround you.
