Messy Children

Elijah with chocolate everywhere
Chloe is much more dainty... she maintains chocolate only around the necessary area.

Giving
Laura, here. Ben and I swap blogging quite a bit even though Ben's name is on the post. It is something we need to resolve. This year, Ben and I have witnessed the support and blessing of the body of Christ more than ever before in our lives. It seems that even when things should be winding down as we get further away from the event, something more happens. We got a letter in the mail from an anonymous person saying they had paid a month's mortgage for us. FOR REAL! Who does that except for our Brothers and Sisters? We almost fell over. I remember lugging the laptop to the hospital during one of his stays so that he could pay the bills. We saw the balance on our mortgage statement and thought it was a clerical error that they would find and correct later. It wasn't; we found out yesterday. To you, anonymous mortgage payer, THANK YOU. We pray to God, the King of the Universe, to bless you greatly for your selfless giving.
As a side note, I have been challenged in my own giving thanks to all of you.
