Thank You!

Bouquet of Flowers, Cezanne

Thank you for listening...whether here in cyberspace, in person, or on the phone.  It's been so helpful to be able to express what is on our hearts.

Thank you for speaking...in your cards, calls, texts, emails, messages and comments.  Your kind words have lifted our spirits time and time again.

Thank you for praying.  We are humbled that so many people have gone boldly to the throne of grace on our behalf. 

Thank you for providing...food, flowers, financial support, errand-running, babysitting, and so much more.

Thank you for attending Arthur's memorial service.  On the way to church last Saturday, I thought "How silly to ask people to come to a memorial service for my little boy who they never even got to meet."  We were touched by how many people came to celebrate and to mourn with us. Seeing your tears on our behalf and feeling your arms around us let us know that our grief is not misplaced and that we are not alone.

Thank you for telling us that our son was beautiful.  

Thank you for affirming God's gift of life...even if that life is so very short.

Thank you for not growing weary of coming alongside us as we go through this trial.

Thank you for longing with us for the day when Jesus will reign forever and ever and we will be reunited with Arthur.
