So Many to Thank - The Nanny Chronicle

Tomorrow will be three weeks since Kyle was born. Three weeks! Time has gone by quickly at times, and at others, it has dragged by. Typically the days we are waiting for test results are the slow days. But what a blessing that it has been three weeks. God is so faithful. Continue to pray for all of Kyle's needs . . . his lungs, his pda, his blood clot, his digestion, his brain.

Back on the home front, an army of people have demonstrated the purest example of biblical community. Because there is no possible way to thank each of you individually, we thought we would thank you by sharing some of the many ways people have been the church, the community we are called to be.

First, through prayer. This is the most important thing you can do. Since we posted the list of practical needs last Wednesday, the number of participants in Kyle's prayer wall has DOUBLED!

Secondly, financially. People have sent gift cards, grocery cards, donated online and through Wells Fargo and Bank of America. What amazing generosity. People who don't even really know the Sherrill Family at all have given.

And then there are the meals, prepared every other day by an army of strangers. Literally people that only know "of" the Sherrills are delivering meals. There's the teacher who wants to make Jadon and Jack's lunch on school days. The offers to mow the yard. The gifts left on the porch. The organizing of benefits!

There are the friends who do the laundry, buy the groceries, clean the house, care for the boys, and run the errands. There are friends who show up at the right moment to help Jadon and Jack through a tough time by building a fort or reading a story. This weekend a friend even flew here from Colorado to help watch the boys!

There's the babysitter who used to get paid for watching Jadon and Jack, and now she does it for free, faithfully, one afternoon every week and then whenever else she is needed.

So many are doing so much. Thank you. This is a long journey that John and Kelly and Jadon and Jack and Kyle are on. It is such an encouragement for them to know they have you to support them through it. Continue to pray for all of them. Every Day. Every moment they cross your mind.

Thanks,
The Nannies
