Dear Friends in Christ,

Some of you may know this, others not, but I am finally home! So far, so good and I'm really hoping that finally being home will help me increase my strength and begin the process of getting back to normal. Please continue to keep me in your  prayers as I continue to recover. I'm thankful to have two wonderful church buildings to continue physical therapy. I made a (slow) lap around Ebenezer this afternoon and it felt wonderful just to be back in God's house again. You really don't realize how much you miss that until you physically can't. 

So I am feeling very thankful to be home and alive for that matter. And I'm also thankful for all of you and the incredible kindness and patience you've given me throughout this entire ordeal. All of your contacts have meant more than I can ever tell you. If I've ever failed to get back in touch anytime, please forgive me. I've been through quite a bit in the past two months, some days better than others. On the subject of thankfulness, that is an essential part of faith. God wants us to have thankful hearts. As Psalm 106:1 reminds us "Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His faithful love endures forever." Amen to that. And may God bless you all, 

With a thankful heart,
