Very Thankful

Just wanted to share a quick entry about how wonderful it has been to watch our kids grow up and become adults. And not just adults, but adults we believe are following Jesus in very attractive ways. Our oldest son, Rob, and his wife were thoughtful enough to send flowers and call Barb. Our youngest son Shawn, currently taking part in his youth group's 30 Hour Famine for World Vision, visited his mom in the hospital this afternoon and took her some flowers before going to be locked in at the church.

Barb has also had a call from our son Joshua and his family in Alabama and an email from our son David and his wife in Thailand. (They had actually called from Thailand before Barb went into the hospital.) We are so thankful for a loving family and for the many others who have called, sent flowers, emailed, and supported us during this brief ordeal. God has been gracious, He alone deserves all the glory, but Barb and I want to thank everyone for their love and support. I wonder what it would have been like if we didn't have any children or Christian friends?
