Experiencing the mercy and grace of Christ's Body

Thank you . . . for your hugs, words of comfort, delicious meals, understanding tears, CARDS!!! (Wow - over 150), flowers, gifts, notes, verses, prayers, quiet time for reflection and space, conversations, compassion, listening ears, displays of hope and love . . . .

What more can we say? God has used you as His ministers of peace, and we have been the recipients.

We humbly ask for continued prayers and . . . . grace as we move into the fall as it brings: school, teaching, new schedules and . . . unknown days of grief, pain and memories.

Psalm 30:11-12

You turned my wailing into dancing;

you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with JOY,

that my heart may singto you and

not be silent.

O LORD my God, I will give you

thanks forever.
