My parents received a letter in the mail recently. It was from Northern Hills Methodist Church. Inside, was a little gift from perfect strangers! The letter said that the church had a program called Dollars for Hope. This program takes up a collection for persons who are "nominated" by a church member. Some member (we think we know who but it's a little more fun to let you wonder) submitted my Dad's name. This church full of good hearted people sent my parents a check without ever having laid eyes on them. They heard Dad's story and felt he was deserving of a little help.
And God's timing couldn't have been better! We are not rich by any means but we are fortunate enough to have the funds to get my Dad treatment. Sometimes the budget is a bit tighter than others but we manage. This week, my Dad has a scan, two doctor appointments, and chemo. It's going to be an expensive week. But God knows and He provides.
Please continue to pray for Dad. Pray that his scan shows good things. Pray that his doctors are at their best. Pray for their skills and knowledge. Pray for healing. Pray for strength (for all of us). Pray for the friends, family, and perfect strangers who have gone above and beyond to help our family.
This road is made easier by the support of others!
