Thankful....

We have been blessed these past couple of weeks by many, many people. Some come over and mow the yard. Some weed, others bring meals, do laundry, sit and listen, bring the big boys gift baskets, and some pray. We were even allowed to use the funeral home for free... I am thankful for all of it.  So very blessed to have such a great community, friends, and church family. I just want everyone to know that each gift, whatever it is, we are grateful for.  We have learned a lot these past few weeks, how to be humble being the main thing. I understand now of when Jesus taught from the parable:
Matthew 25:31-40

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Each and every act of kindness, gift of life to another and prayer is cherished. Thank you for giving of yourself to our family and others in Shaun's honor.
