""sanctuary" (not sure if that is what we call it since our church is set up a little different than most but anyway) when I saw Pastor Bret out of the corner of my eye, he was up toward the front. We were mingling with friends when he asked if we were coming or going. I replied coming. He simply said "hold on" and ran back toward the kids area.
He emerged a few minutes later with an envelope that ready Ryan & Beth Chupp. When I said thank you he explained that it was not from me but from someone who wanted to remain anonymous. While we were waiting for the band to start playing I opened the envelope up. It has a note and this is what it read:
"All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling
their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need."
Acts 2:44-45 NIV

Along with this wonderful letter that I am keeping in a safe place, there was a cashier's check. I am so thankful, as well as Ryan is, that we have people in our lives (whomever you maybe) that care about us and our family at this trying time. I know most if not all the people that follow this blog do. But when you are handed something like this at church unexpectedly you are both humbled and in awe of Gods work at your time of need.
So thank you to the anonymous donor/donors! Not only are we thankful for the monetary donation for but for the kind words of support and love from fellow One Lifers!

God is Good! How great that you have so many friends in Christ that care so much for your family and little Keegan. I do know this is no coincidence. This is all part of His mighty plan. My heart breaks for you and your family, but I am so happy you can take comfort in the love those around you are giving. Praying for you and your family always.
ReplyDeletethis makes me smile. There are wonderful people in this world, and it sounds like you are surrounded by them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! I am so glad your family is being support locally and from afar. I love reading your blog and pray for Keegan and your family daily!

ReplyDeleteYou are truly an inspiration. Going through what you've been through, I cannot imagine. My son was diagnosed with leukemia in April (prognosis is good) and reading your blog (introduced by Jill@BabyRabies) has made me a lot stronger, and just helped me to stop and cherish every single moment I have with my angel. I am so very sorry for your loss and literally broke into tears at my desk yesterday when reading your blog. I don't know you or Keegan, but I feel like I do. Your blog is so perfect for any mother going through a serious illness with their child. You let us in, and let us capture everything. Thank you so much. I pray for you and your family every minute. I can feel your strength through your words and know you will do great in recovering and living through Keegans spirit. Again, thank you for your blog and I hope you never stop writing!
