A Great Mother's Day

Hannah went all out making a huge card for me for Mother's Day. As a special gift, she recorded her voice in a device & Jim took the recording to Build A Bear & had bears made for me & my mom. Her messages in the bears to us were so dear, sweet & loving. It is a gift we will both always treasure!!!!

Daniel got an awesome surprise on the evening of Mother's Day. The high school pastor from our church, Brian Holland, came a few weeks ago with Michael Slazas (Aunt Kim's 2nd oldest son) to visit Daniel. When they were driving back Brian said, "we have to get him a laptop." And that they did. The high school group took up an offering that got the ball rolling. Kim's Sunday school class & my class took up an offering for Daniel's laptop & it was exactly the amount that was needed for a great laptop. Actually there was $4 to spare! Kim's oldest boys, Michael & Matthew, went to Best Buy & talked to them about Daniel -- they spent time shopping & loading programs & showing Daniel how to work things. Amazing! Seriously, some kids are out partying, doing drugs, you name it ... these boys are at Best Buy working a deal for Daniel so that he can have a laptop!!! Thank you, Lord, for the kind hearts of all those that donated & for the high school group that started such an awesome project for Daniel!

I swear when all of this is done with Hannah I am doing something like this ... some kind of organization to bring happiness to sick kids & their families.

What joy to make someone happy!!!
