Blessed by those around us

We have been blessed with all the support around us through life's adventures. Tonight we were grateful to tell our story to the ministries at our church, Saint Andrews in Rib Mountain. We do not make it to church nearly as much as we would like, however our church has been very supportive of our family. When Zak was three recovering from his neck surgery we received a phone call asking if the bible school children could make Zak a prayer blanket. We still cherish this blanket and every time we look at it we think of the many special people and prayers that make the blanket what it is. The following summer when Callie was just 6 months old we received another phone call asking if they could make her a blanket. We were once again gratefully for the support. I will never forget when pastor presented Callie with the blanket. She was crying and in pain, he put the blanket on her and said a prayer. Instantly she was silent. The prayers were being answered. Thank you to everyone who makes our church such a wonderful place to be with all the prayers, support and caring for each other.

Tomorrow the family will celebrate the Life of Chris's Great Uncle Bill who passed this past weekend. Uncle Bill was age 97 from Park Falls, WI, died Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010, at his home.
