Thank You!

There are not enough words in the English language to adequately describe how we feel.


But I'm still going to try.  😁


Starting with...

We have been so deeply moved by the outpouring of love that you have shown to us. If I could have tried to imagine it, I wouldn't have even come close. Your messages and words of encouragement and thoughtful gifts each came at just the right time. Bringing a meal to help us after a long day of appointments has been sooooo appreciated and your financial support? Honestly, I can't even begin to express how thankful we are. To each person who has reached out to help us, encourage us or remember us in prayer, we are so touched by your kindness and generosity. 

We are truly thankful. 

Truly. 

We are also so incredibly thankful to the Lord for His constant care and attention. Even when we doubt and fear, He comforts us and holds us in His hand. Sometimes, I feel like a toddler learning to walk. A few steps and then a fall. A few steps and another fall. Repeat continuously throughout the day. But He never walks away and He never turns His back on me. Just gently each time, He helps me back up and sets my feet back in the way that they should go. And even when I fall flat and give in to the familiar and overwhelming fear that threatens at times to consume me, He is there with me still.

Every. Single. Time.  

Is there anything that can separate me from Him? Trouble? Hardship? Adversity? Sickness? Death?

No, nothing.

Not ever!


And I am so thankful! 

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Oh, what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our Refuge

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He'll take and shield thee

Thou wilt find a solace there. 

I would have fainted, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of  good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart. 

Wait, I say, on the Lord. 

Psalm 27:13-14
