Blessing of a Silent Night

In the hustle and the bustle, the hurry and the scurry, may you also find the time to remember and celebrate the true reason for this season.

As you read this, my husband and I will be returning home from Rochester.
The gift I received this year is more priceless than any found under a tree or in a stocking.
It was found in the hands of a skilled surgeon, the prayers of friends known and unknown, and through the grace of a great God.

  1. And a Merry Christmas it will be! We don't often have the opportunity to see the fruit of our prayers. Praise to God that this Christmas we all witnessed a miracle and an answer to fervent prayers. Hugs to you and Tom both as you settle in to celebrate as never before.

  6. God's greatest gift is his son and the next is his Grace. WE give thanks to the lord for his blessings and answer to prayer. Have a safe trip home.

  10. I am SO happy the surgery was successful! We don't know each other but we share the common bond of beautiful handmade items and our Heavenly Father and that was enough for me to petition on your behalf. I'm glad all is well.
