Blessing #1:
Tim is doing well. He is fighting a cold - it seems he gets more colds now than he did before, but other than that he is doing great. He went to the oncologist for his monthly check up today and all of his levels are in the normal range. We praise the Lord for his mercy in our lives.
Blessing #2:
In the past few weeks, I have had several people say to me that they check our blog on a regular basis. Everywhere we go, people approach us and ask how Tim is doing and tell us how they continue to pray for him. I originally started this blog to help our family and church family keep up with what was going on, but I really didn't think that many other people would read it. Honestly, we are humbled by the fact that so many people still continue to follow Tim's story and pray for us every day. Thank you for following along with us. It is a real encouragement to our hearts.
Blessing #3:
December and January were very challenging months for our family, due to some problems that we were dealing with regarding our oldest son, Matthew; but the Lord answered many prayers, and showed us how much He loves us during some very difficult days. Matthew is now at the Shenandoah Boys Academy in Tennessee - it is a miracle how the Lord worked it out for him to be there. We had so many needs over the last several weeks that were left unspoken to most people, but the Lord knew what we were facing and He is faithful. We are continually amazed at how He takes care of us and comes through for us in such a way that we can only say, "Blessed be the Lord!"
Blessing #4:
Michael started a new therapy for his Autism - we make 3 trips a week to Norwalk, which is about 45 minutes away. However, it typically takes at least an hour to an hour and a half to get home because of afternoon traffic. The drive can be brutal at times, (if you live around here, you completely understand that!), but we are so glad that Michael is getting some help and we look forward to seeing him make progress in the program. We are also amazed at how the Lord has provided the funds for this therapy. I'm glad we serve a God Who is bigger than our bills!
Blessing#5:
Grandma Zac came for a visit from Pennsylvania. She will be here most of February. It is really good to have her here. She and the kids love to play Skip-Bo and they love Grandma's back-rubs!
There are so many more blessings to count, but I'll stop for now. One of our favorite verses says, "O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that that trusteth in Him." (Psalm 34:8)
Have a "Lovely" Valentine's Day! :)
