• Observing An Anniversary and Thanking God

  

  One year ago yesterday Mary-Kate underwent majoy back surgery to repair a poorly healed fractured back.  Then she spent the bulk of the summer in a back brace.  It was a long and often frustrating recovery.  For a formerly active teenager it was difficult to restrict herself to the enforced inactivity.  But she did with surprising good grace.  She submitted to being taken care of by her family.

   

  Now by the grace of God look at all of the things that she can do.  She has healed and her back is as strong as ever.  We have celebrated with a special day and many prayers of thanksgiving offered up to God for healing our girl and especially for giving all of us the new found insight into what it is like to be disabled in the way that MK was for that short time.  May we always sympathsize and give our help and prayers to others.  Thank you God for giving our MK to us whole to continue to grow in wisdom, age and grace before You.
