Everything is pretty routine around here, which is a blessing! I have been concerned the last week or so for several of my family and friends who have not been so blessed. Two dear friends, Susan & Sue, each lost a parent last week, one her father, and one her mother. I know without a doubt that both are comforted by their faith, but my heart is still heavy for them. My cousin Alisa's oldest son Taylor, a special needs child, had surgery on Jan. 20 to remove steel plates from his thighs, he was progressing well. Then a little over a week later, he took a tumble from his wheelchair outside and had surgery Feb. 2 to repair a broken femur. He's feeling much better and as happy as always, but in a body cast for several weeks. Last night Taylor's dad broke his arm and was supposed to have surgery today. I haven't heard an update on him yet. Alisa has 3 other young boys besides Taylor to keep up with. She's an amazing lady and mom, but is feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately her Mom and brother live nearby and can help out. Some good news, another cousin, Brandi is a new mom to a baby boy! They had quite a surprise since they were expecting a girl!! My friend Crystal passed her State Boards and is an LPN now! Especially amazing that she did so well, since the gentleman I mentioned earlier that passed away was her grandfather. My sister-in-law Shari is still praying for the right job to come available. Please join me in remembering all these precious folks in your prayers. While it seems so simple, and we often want a more tangible way to help, prayer is the most powerful way we can help anyone.
Hope everyone has a great Friday and wonderful weekend!
