Family and Friends to the Rescue

We have been blessed with wonderful family, friends and neighbors. The outpouring of love and support has been extremely heart warming and a bit overwhelming. There are not enough meals in a month or chores around the house to consume all of of the offers of help that we have received. Each and every one has been deeply appreciated. We suppose that before this process is complete, we will need to take advantage of many of these offers.

Having had a bit more experience on the giving side of service, we understand the desire to do something to help those in need. Fortunately, we are a little bit less experienced on the receiving side of service. We are still trying to figure out where we can use these offers to help our circumstances without unduly taking advantage of others' compassion. Nevertheless, we realize the great blessings that come from giving and receiving service.

Thank you to all that have been so generous in your offers of support. Perhaps most importantly, we have felt the powerful comfort of knowing that so many are praying on our behalf. Heavenly Father is guiding us and others through this process. The help has come - even when we didn't know we were going to need it. This is one of the great blessings of all that has occurred thus far!
