Sorry . . . lots of posts today in a short bunch.
I am struggling with showing the appreciation for those around us. Let me explain. I am so overly thankful I just want to go on and on about what people have done for us. My issue is that we are already at the point where we cannot keep up with it all. I hesitate to post notes of gratitude as I will miss people, and I will miss people that helped up out in some significant way at a real cost of their own time and money. I absolutely do not want to hurt any feeling by leaving them out or by thanking someone for the wrong thing.
I am going to do this generically. More than anything, I want to thank you all. We will never be able to repay this debt of love, support, and effort. Never.
Many people have brought us meals - 2 per week for several weeks now. All meals have been between great and awesome. Meals have fed us for days. Meals have had treats (in addition to the every other week treats on Saturdays). This has made my eating healthy a bit hard, but has made Jill's directive of 'just eat' easier! I will say that there was a box of cookies that literally gave me a beat down. Every time I walked by they overpowered me! All of this has taken time and money to make and deliver. WOW is all I can say.
People have taken my kids everywhere . . . to one place, home from another, etc. This has done more for me than anyone to be blunt. This has allowed me some Greg time and time to do things like clean and organize the house and work on my blogs.
Our driveway has been cleared multiple times.
Out house has been cleaned.
Let me end with this - there is not a single thing that has been done for us that has gone unnoticed. There is not a single thought or prayer that we are not grateful for. And I know I will be writing this stuff over and over for the coming months. I want everyone to feel good about helping us. It makes a difference.
As I have stated before, God truly sends who and what we need, when we need it. He knows our needs before we can even speak them. The community, fellowship we have through Jesus is AWESOME! He is with Jill and all her family, friends and medical team at every moment. We live His plan, and Jill does it graciously.
