December 29, 2006 - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! We would like to thank you for all that you have taught us this year. What a year! Every year we know that the next year will be the best yet and so far this is true! We are looking forward to 2007! We want to thank you for what you have taught us this year. Many of you probably do not even realize the impact and support we have felt as a result of your prayers and support. Here are a few things that come to mind for us as we think about the past year. . . -- Unconditional love - you have loved us when times have been good and bad. -- Faith - you have been faithful in praying for us even when we didn't ask. You have been faithful to God by helping us in ways we did not expect and could not have anticipated. -- Kindness - we have been touched by those we know and those we do not know. Kindness has been shown in many ways and through many people. -- Understanding - you have tolerated our tardiness, lack of responses to calls or emails, and have offered assistance at just the right time. -- Christian love and teaching for our children - our children have grown in Christ through your actions, words, and teaching this year. The balance has been perfect and they have gained knowledge on how to walk in Christ through whatever comes our way. The Christians who have prayed and carried us through the challenges we have faced have been instrumental in this. We could not have done it as well on our own. We could go on forever but these things stand out and we just want to extend a huge THANKS to all of you! We know God brought us all together for many reasons and some of the ones we have been blessed to know are listed above. Thanks and we look forward to 2007 and the blessings God has in store for us as we watch him fully restore Erik - speech, walking, running, learning, the list goes on and on . . . Love in Christ, Erik's Family
