Blessing Us Behind the Scenes

Yesterday was Sam's birthday, and it was not forgotten. Even as Deb and Biz were traveling, Kris Phillips was preparing Sam's favorite meal--hot wings with extra hot sauce--and Koshi Holt was making this cake! Koshi, who tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, apologized. "Sorry, I messed up. I'm not a professional." We all tried in vain to find the mess up. I think it was the best decorated cake that's ever been served in our house, and it was delicious, too. By the way, the hat and ball were made of licorice strings.
Actually, I wanted to post this picture as an illustration of just how well we've been cared for by our friends. Koshi has enlisted a dinner brigade to feed us while Deb and Biz are away. It is truly an "extra mile" brigade...the meals show up at dinner time, hot! This time of year, with two boys on separate Little League teams, we have had some very strange dinner hours (e.g. 4:00pm; 8:30pm). But that has deterred no one.
I thank the Lord each night for those who have made the burden lighter. When you remember to pray for us, please remember to ask the Lord to bless them, too.
