Thankful Thursday a day late

I apologize for being publicly thankful a day late but I figured - better late than never.

As you all have read, we've been very sick all week. ALL of us. It's been interesting and challenging. However, we are all feeling much much better. Vincent went back to school today for the first time this week. That is definately a praise. He was very happy to be going back.

Throughout this week, God has been so good to us and has sent people to help us out. So, my Thankful Thursday post is to these people:

1. Tom & Connie Rodgers: Connie fixed food for us on 2 different days. What a delight and SUCH a blessing!! We didn't have the stomach flu so we WERE hungry but Mommy just didn't have the energy or strength to fix much. Not only did she fix food on 2 different days but they made special trips to bring it to us. Thank you SO much for being so kind and helping us out in that way!!!

2. George Randal: George came and took care of our animals when we were the worst and absolultely could not get the job done. Thanks George!!!

3. Dad Gurnee: There were a couple outside issues that had to be done that Byron simply was not up to doing so Dad Gurnee drove 30 min to our house and took care of it for us. Then yesterday, Dad & Mom Gurnee drove the 30 min AGAIN to our house and brought (among other cool things) an air purifier for our house. If nothing else, psycologically, I feel better already!!! Just knowing it is ridding our trailer of "the sickness" (as Vincent calls it) has made me feel so much better!!

4. John Rausch (our neighbor): He stopped by our house earlier in the week to talk to Byron and when he found out that we were all sick he left only to return a few hours later with a big pan of soup, a loaf of bread and blueberry muffins. What a way to show you care!!

5. To the numerous ones who have emailed and let us know they were/are praying for us - Thanks so VERY VERY much.
