hope & blessing in dark places.

We thought that these photos of Tom's March garden in St. Louis were a good picture of how our lives are scattered with beautiful blessings in a dark place. It was so encouraging to see bulbs blooming and blossoms bursting all over St. Louis! While the garden is still mostly cold and dormant, it shows fragrant signs of beauty and hope... Blessings bursting out of dark & cold soil.
...Much like having so many of you reading our blog with tender interest and praying for us... like the wonderful cards that Mike reads more than once... like Sharon picking us up from the airport in St. Louis and staying with us during the long meet-with-the-doctor day... for having friends that live blocks from the hospital that we love so dearly that we feel at home away from home with them... for excellent insurance... for caring phone calls & emails (and for the times people just pray instead of calling or emailing)... for the myriad of offers for help with the kids... for Mike's boss who told him to "do whatever he needed to do"... for all the times that we know without a doubt that we are able to do something because people are praying...
