Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us . . . Hebrews 12:1

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us . . . " Hebrews 12:1



Almost 18 years ago, life changed in an instant when Steven Sauder sustained a head injury after a car collision. Although there have been many difficulties, God's grace has been clearly evident. The past few years, Steven continued to decline, yet God gave him the strength to "never give up". On May 9, 2011, he reached the end of his journey.

Grandson

I'm sorry I haven't posted for a long time. I was in IL for a quite awhile because my grandson Joshua (age 7) was in the hospital. His blood platelet count was down to 3000 (life-threatening - supposed to be 200,000 to 400,000). After 2 other therapies did not work, they started chemotherapy. The 4th chemo treatment brought the platelet count up to 130,000, thankfully. Joshua is now restricted to his home, with a protective helmet, but things are definitely looking up.

Joshua is our "miracle baby". He was in intensive care for 8 mo. after birth, and just started to walk and talk about a year ago. But he loves books and reads like a trooper - right side up or upside down, take your choice. (I tried it upside down and was a whole lot slower than Joshua!)

For those who have been praying for Joshua - thank you!
