Greetings All,
First off thanks so much for your many prayers for my son Matt. He is continuing to heal. Please be praying for this evening and tomorrow morning. pain level has been really high and he goes to doctor tomorrow at 11. Doesn't have enough pain meds to make it until then. Please pray for the pain to lessen and for him to be able to rest.
The Lord provided a special coat for Cassie today; Pic attached. When I dropped it off early this afternoon, she literally jumped for joy and put it right on, finally taking it off around 8PM. As she put her coat on she excitedly shared that the kids wouldn't laugh at her now.

Talk about a drink of cold water in Jesus name. James 1:27 being lived out.

We're still praying for boots (Size 4 children) and youth gloves.

Cassie was really disappointed she couldn't go and make snowmen with her friends last Saturday. Next snow she will.

Below is a list of things we are collecting for the Noltings including a few special gifts each has asked for. Please really be praying for them. Mom, Louise, widow with 5 special needs kids; all adopted. Neat strong Christian family lives on social security trusting God for all needs.Times when texted and asked if needed tp and response was praying for it.

One quick note here, yes their church does help, but no church I'm involved with can care long term month after month for folks. That is where we, The Church, come in to minister in love with kindness and compassion.

Thank you again for your prayers for Matt and for the Noltings. Girlie is doing pretty well, and health wise holding her own for now. Amazing that 2 years after knocking on deaths door, she is still with us.
