As I sit here at 3:30 in the morning, remembering back a year - all I can say is what an Awesome God we serve.
A year ago we were so sleep deprived, not quit as bad now. But wondering if our little boy was going to come home, when, and if he would have to have another surgery to have a shunt put in. My wonderful Aunt LeMay became our mercy angel as she took some night shifts so we could go back to the Ronald McDonald house and actually sleep. Then Bruce's mom and dad keeping the Ronald McDonald house going and moving and us well fed. Oh what a year. This is actually the anniversary of us being released from the hospital and staying a day at the house before coming back for the final release.
So what is happening a year later??? Josh is playing basketball, a straight A student, and the most handsome young man around - not that I am bias or anything. He is very involved in our youth group and growing spiritually daily. What a blessing in a son. We have been approached by the school Sparrow Club to be it again, and Josh without a hesitation said yes. Even if we are not we are blessed by them, and the ability to let us others bless us.
Talk about blessings. Sunday was a big grocery shopping day, so off to Bend we went. We decided to use our gift cards to the Outback and celebrate our one year anniversary of well health. Not to happen. We went to the Outback and had our awesome waiter Brandon, tell us he is now cooking. Cooking he is awesome at. We had the best dinner ever. Makes me want to go back every night it was so good. Mike the manager was fantastic checking up on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Emily our waitress was great. We were so blessed. Then both Brandon and Mike informed us that our dinner was on them at the Outback. What a delightful surprise. So once again our hats are off to the Outback and the wonderful staff there. Shelly you pick them good.
Now as we await the final dates for our trip to Disney World - I am sitting in awe of a God who goes so far above what I could imagine, and what He has in store for us. All we can do is share His love and goodness with others and continually thank HIM. So this Christmas I ask that you take time to really thank God for sending His son to earth to be our sacrifice. If you would like t know more - ask Josh he wants to share his love of Christ with the world.
Our family wishes you the best Christmas ever, especially it will be if you keep Christ in the center! Merry Christmas!
The Henry Family
Bruce, Lori, Josh, Sarah and of course Captain Rakshak
