Thank you, Christy ❤️

Thank you for your prayers ❤️

I read the first nine pages of ‘Gilead’ to him, ending on the well-known passage: “Ah, this life, this world.”

Hugs and love to you and prayers for the family of this friend.

Dad‘s recovery from the surgery has been slow. I would so appreciate your prayers for my family—especially for comfort for dad and strength for mom ❤️

Welcome home to this new believer.
