Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.

Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

Blessed by friends

As we got closer to Hu’s surgery dates we received more and more offers from friends and relatives for assistance. Expecting routine surgery and recovery of a few days we were grateful but didn’t see a need to accept. Since there has been a change in the length of Hu’s hospitalization we’ve been so blessed already by acts of kindness by so many. Our leaves have been blown, meals delivered, calls and emails received to name a few of the ways we’ve been encouraged. I’m trying to take notes so I know what would be helpful for people in our situation in the future.

Having our sons here with us for support and encouragement has been tremendous. (I can’t forget their wives who unselfishly supported their decision to come while they stay behind in the roles of Mom and Dad.) As a mom I would love to be feeding our sons some of their favorite foods and making meals for them. However, one of our friends offered to help in that way by setting up a temporary meal program for our family. If you would like to have more information about that please go to http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=FNAQ7989 name is The Harrills. 

We appreciate your faithful prayers for Hu and our family during these days of uncertainty.

Love,
Sherril
