HOMECOMING !!!!!!

2 Corinthians 12:9 reads - And He said to me, "My Grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Have you ever really thought about that?....I hadn't until now and the events of late. Christ's strength is made perfect for us in our weakness...his glory is magnified through us and our afflictions, our persecutions, etc, etc, etc.... I don't mean our sinful infirmities, but rather those where He can manifest the power and sufficiency of his grace resting upon us. When we are weak, we are then strong in the grace of our father. Sounds like a paradox right -- when we are weak we are strong...but think about it again...our tank is empty and we remove ourselves from trying to control it....that's when we can let Christ reign....when his grace is strongest in our situation....What an Awesome God we serve.

PRESTON UPDATE:

Mom and Preston are Home.....Praise the Lord!!!!! Everyone is doing well, set up, and ready to start getting back to a semi-normal environment (sleep aside). The girls are thrilled to have him home and Cheryl is loving being able to be in her own clothes, her own bed, and with the family once again.
Here are some more pictures from the last few days and the other 2 videos I neglected to post the other day while in the hospital of the other sisters holding Preston.

If you want to stop the music to hear the videos, all you have to do is scroll all the way down the blog until you see the music player and hit pause. Then you can re-scroll back up and play the video with the audio so you can hear and understand.
We want to express our heartfelt "Thanks" for all the flowers, cards, gifts and visits we have been showered with over the past 7 days. Special thanks to Mom (of course), Dziadek, Sara Sivley, The Carters, The Copes, The Hayden's, Roger, Julie, and all of the wonderful nursing staff at banner Desert. Your Love and assistance is truly a blessing to us.

More in the coming days, and weeks.....

Gabe, Cheryl, Alexxis, Natalie, Payton, Preston, & Pongo !!!
