Hearts full of joy and sorrow

Mid-January finds us good. It was so good to hear from so many of you over Christmas. There is nothing better than to feel connected to beloved friends and family. We have a few things on our hearts right now:

• Heather, our niece, is back to work as of this past Monday. She is working half days. She met with her surgeon last Friday and he freed her to go back to work, exercise, and begin to get back into her regular schedule. We are all rejoicing! Pray for her as she gains her strength back. Isn't that so exciting?!
• We have dear friends, Buddy and Penny, who have been walking through an intense battle with cancer in Buddy over the last year. Please pray for this dear family as Buddy is failing and nearing his final days on this earth. This couple loves the Lord and each other and have assurance that he is about to meet his Master in heaven. Many of you know this family and the pleasure of their company. Many of you might remember Buddy who sang "The Parent's Prayer" at Courtney's wedding. Please pray for them as they walk this road ..........that we will all walk one day. Our hearts are saddened, yet rejoice in the HOPE of eternal life with God in the midst of life's trials.

Thank you God for walking with us through all of life's journeys.
