Thank you Richard for sharing this. It is so good to have an update on Anna but I somehow don't remember her being so little. Perhaps it is because she is sitting on your knee that I can see how tiny she is. I do hope Nigel has been in touch and that God will work through him to bless Anna in any way, no matter how small. I'm just so glad she has come through the last infection and is still showing her determined spirit. I'm sure God makes sense of all this and one day all will be revealed. God bless, as always, Elaine

Dear Richard & Lael, Just wanted to say hello and we're praying every single day for little Anna. Since Thanksgiving is a special time when we stop to thank the Almighty for all of His many blessings I have been thinking of all of mine. I have been so amazingly blessed in my life and I've certainly never did anything to deserve it! One of those many blessings is meeting you all those years ago and watching as you have both become the Son & Daughter of God that you are. What a testimony to so many people! Just wanted to say that we love you guys so much! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Shelley

i have never met u but all the best wishes

I don't know Anna but, hopefully she will recover

Dear Bro. Richard,

It caught my attention when you mentioned that you and Sis. Lael appreciate the comments. I don't normally write because you do not know me - I am from Bro. John Stemen's church in Sarasota. I am certain you know that while you may sometimes alone, you are not. There are brothers and sister around this world who pray for your family and Anna and let us not forget the angels encamped about you. More than that, the Lord Jesus Christ is with you in your pain and your desire.

The entire reason you and I exist is because God desired fellowship. Jesus Christ came to earth when that fellowship was broken because He loved His children so much. He knows more than anyone how you miss your fellowship with Anna. Surely He will restore it according to His plan and as we wait in faith (and yes, you have faith even when you don't feel like you do!!) He is glorified in us before all men.

I live far away and so, I can't touch you - I can only hug you all in my heart. But that I do, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Soon we will meet!! He is coming, He is coming, the signs are all around us now! Rejoice - one way or another, we are ALL going to be delivered from the bondage of these bodies. Grow not weary; I know this battle has been long, but the victorious end draws nigh.

In Christian Love, Sis. Katherine
