Well I am almost off to dream land but wanted to just reach out and echo what Sandy wrote.
First a little background: Sandy and I were raised to be useful by our parents from the very beginning of our beginnings. It was just what was instilled in us (and certainly modeled for us so often). In our upbringings we were not only encouraged to be helpful but to really look for extra/any opportunities to be useful. This is just part of our cores and still remains with us to this day. In fact I think its amazing that the Lord led us to each other and that He has continued to inspire in us that desire to be useful and to continue to seek opportunities to be useful as a married couple rather than as individuals.
With that in mind...we come to July 2009. We have to allow others the opportunity to help us. We can't do all that needs doing on our own. It is truly a humbling experience for us to go through. So thanks to all of you for doing your part to help us...from prayers, to good thoughts, to meals, to hugs, to spontaneous visits, to phone calls, and in general, to just being a part of our team as we go through this experience in our life. Love to all, Phil (Sandy and Benjamin)
P.S. As soon as we are done with this project we hope you will ask for help from one or both of us. And even if you don't please know that we will be seeking opportunities to repay you again for all of your kindnesses...because it is so much of our core!

Prayers to Sandy, Phil and family as you go through your day. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you, may His face shine upon you and bring you peace.
ReplyDeleteI know you won't be seeing this until well after surgery, but if you didn't feel them please know that our thoughts and prayers were with you Sandy, Phil, and Benjamin. I would have all of Pittsburgh praying for you if I could. I have every confidence that you will come through this every bit as healthy as before, or more so. How could you not, with your attitude and the great support around you. I hope Bucky and June are hanging in there too. - Love Jonathan, Cyndi, and Benjamin.
