Thanksgiving

Well, I’m a day late (and a dollar short???), but HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We are, perhaps, more thankful this year than ever before! Every day we celebrate and give thanks that our little Koal is alive and with us, bringing us joy and happiness constantly. We are so very thankful that in a matter of days we will travel to Boston to have Koalton’s tiny heart fixed! Not only are we abundantly thankful for Dr. del Nido, our surgeon, Drs. Powell and Shah, our cardiologists, and ALL of the nurses and staff that have and will care for Koal, as well as the hospital, modern science and medicine and the time and place we live in that gives us the opportunity to give our son this chance at life, BUT, we are also SO thankful for the way everything has fallen into place for us to make this trip next week. God has given us an overwhelming sense of peace about the surgery, Koal’s recovery, the experts involved in his care, and all things concerning the procedures at Children’s Hospital Boston, along with all of the details of the trip: flights, accommodations, inner-city travel, care for Kade and Adry while we’re away, and ALL the logistics surrounding this venture. We are SO THANKFUL for so many of YOU for the ways you have supported and encouraged us, prayed for us and loved us through this time.  BUT, above all, we are thankful for Christ, our God and Savior…for His death and resurrection and gift of life with HIM. He is our strength and comfort, our source of peace and rest, and our loving, forgiving, life-giving Father.
