Faith Gets Us Through

The last 4 weeks are catching up with Kevin. He's tired and achy. Once he accepted that this is all real, he focused on getting through the surgery and here on the other side of that is a very wearing recovery period. We've had a lot of good news but there's still a lot for him to do in the process of recovering from surgery.

John and Elaina added some prayers and a story from John about one of his early experiences with Kevin to the "prayer pocket" of Kevin's blanket. The timing was perfect. Today he needed to hear from long time close friends.

Those prayer reminders, the jokes, the stories and reflections in that pocket have already been invaluable in helping Kevin through this time. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who has helped with this part of his recovery. It's had a tremendous impact on both of us to read and recall the deep faith of our friends and family.

I've often seen the 'faith will get you through' phrases printed on gift items or in Christian reading and ackowledged that as a truth in our lives. This experience, though, with the over flowing prayer pocket on Kevin's blanket has shown me that sometimes someone else's faith will get you through when you hit those times where your own faith falters.

Thanks, all, for getting us through.
