This past year has been a roller coaster ride. We’ve experienced loss of family members and enjoyed new life. We’ve been reminded of how precious our time on earth is and how much we mean to each other.We are humbled to have experienced a modern miracle from God. I survived a challenging heart transplant.
After the surgery one of my Cardiologist said to the Deseret News, “I think Paul's benefiting from everybody’s prayers and his own faith. He’s got me convinced. I’ve known him for the last year, and I certainly can’t find a better explanation.”
Yes, it is because of your thoughtful prayers and faith. How can we express our appreciation for you and our friendship? It is impossible.
Truly, the Lord has been very kind.
More than ever you can imagine how happy we are to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
Psalms 147:3 reads “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” This applies to all of us.
This holiday season please know our family loves you!
What a great bible verse! Thank you for your inspiration, from a heart mom who has only just begun this journey!

What a small world. Your dad served his mission in the netherlands , in a small town down south where i met him. He still looks the same...Just with a couple of little love lines on his face. But soo much the same. I was looking at Andee Sanders's blog , and she mentioned your blog site. What a generous, warm family. And inspirational. thanks so much for sharing. So we can learn. Hope you continue a full and wonderful life. Our love, Els Manning-Haan family. And Merry Christmas...or just for your dad...Gelukkig Kerstfeest!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! One of my favorite gifts was a set of your sheet music. I can't wait to learn Gracie's Theme. That song means so much to me.
