Thank You First Church of God in Ravenna, Ohio!
Thank you so much for your support and generosity! The church that I grew up in had a spaghetti dinner fundraiser to help us bring Robert home (Thank you Katrina and Mom, and everybody who pitched in to help, donated food, who came to the dinner, and who gave above and beyond). With the help of a few additional donations last weekend, Robert is $2,100 closer to being part of a family - yay!!!! $2,100!!! Isn't that amazing and awesome!? And to know that soooo many people are rooting for Robert to make it home is worth even more than words can describe. Grant and I have not lived in Ohio for so long that there were a lot of new faces, but I could just feel the love for our little guy from everyone that came out that day. And to hear of people, like Amanda W., who has embraced Robert and has been praying for him, is so encouraging and reassuring. Grant and I are so blessed. And I just know that Grandma and Grandpa Burrell were there too, looking down on us and rejoicing right along with us. :)

Praise the Lord for cheerful givers! Who knows, maybe we'll be traveling around the same time :)
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet that your church did that! I can't wait for you to get there to your handsome guy! That would be so cool if you did get to travel with Carolyn and David. It is so much fun getting to know other families in your downtime!
ReplyDeleteI would love it too if we could travel with Carolyn and David - what an honor that would be!!!
