Merry CHRISTmas

Christmas 2009

“Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” ~ Psalm 38:19

This year has been a testimony of God’s grace to our family. Space is not enough to tell of the wondrous works the Father has performed in our lives.

Kohen received an outstanding report in September following his surgery in July. His right kidney is functioning normal and his left kidney has made remarkable improvements. We are praying for a total healing for him in the Lord’s timing. He is now 20 months old, weighing 24 pounds and is 27 inches tall. He is climbing on furniture, discovering the world and is wide-eyed at every turn. He enjoys music and animals. What an amazing gift God has given our family. Indeed Kohen was fearfully and wonderfully made!

Braxton is 4 ½ years old. He attends preschool two days a week, story time at the library, swimming lessons and mission friends at church. He keeps quite a social calendar! He still enjoys music and books. He is learning to read short three and four letter word books and has quite an imagination! Currently, he is preparing to be a shepherd in the preschool musical & play.

Tanya stays busy chasing after Kohen and taking Braxton to all his activities. In her “spare” time, she enjoys reading book, studying the Bible and keeping up with her friends on the computer. She continues to teach the young adult Sunday school class and direct Vacation Bible school. God blessed her in healing her knee after hardware removal surgery in October.

Sky stays busy at work and with church and community activities. He took Kohen to his first Auburn football game this year and took Braxton to several games. He also has taken an interest in turkey hunting and killed his first turkey this past spring.

We can only anticipate the benefits that God will bring us in the new year as we continue to discover his mercy and grace in new and exciting ways.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born King!”
