It is Christmas Eve. This morning our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the miracles we have been recipients of this year. After the last visit to the oncologist we realize more than ever the miracle it is that Mark is with us this Christmas. We feel humbled to be remembered by so many in prayers and positive thoughts sent our way. It is hard to find words to express the gratitude we feel to all of you who have so lovingly put your arms around us during this journey. Last night we watched "It's a Wonderful Life". In the beginning many are praying for George Bailey, and all those prayers to heaven caused Clarence to be sent to help him. We thought of all the prayers that have been offered for us, and have no doubt that your faith and prayers have been the reason Mark is here.
Likewise we feel such gratitude for our oncologist and for modern research that brought about the medicine that has been so effective in the not only causing Mark's tumors to shrink, but to actually disappear. We are thankful for all those who have given us alternative methods for healing. We have incorporated many of those into our diet and lifestyle and we believe it has helped. It's all of those things that have been instrumental, but more than anything else it we believe it is your faith and prayers.
Our daughter, Rachel is getting married in less than a week - the 29th of December. How well I remember the day I pleaded with Father in Heaven to allow Mark to be at her wedding, healthy and vibrant, and it is here. What a blessing!
As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, we express gratitude to Him for the miracle of Mark's healing, and for the gift of love that He has given us all.
May your Christmas be filled with His love and may that love continue throughout the coming year.
Merry Christmas!!!
With love, hope and gratitude,
Ane & Mark
