“Casting all your care upon Him,

~1 Peter 5:7, NKJV~

 

Mrs. Theople Hurst is thankful to be home.  Today, she will have some testing done as they try to determine what her problem was.  Pray all goes well.

Jadon’s Journey

As a parent with a child with a rare diagnosis, I can so relate to this. I have spent many hours researching in order to find the best help possible for Jadon. I’m very thankful that his doctors not only listen to me, but research themselves to find the best treatments and therapies for Jadon. If it wouldn’t have been for the research we have done, Jadon wouldn’t be where he is today. So thankful!

Maggie Lee Henson passed away due to injuries she suffered when the church bus she was riding on had a tire issue that caused a wreck.  Her parents kept us updated as we all prayed for healing.  God healed Maggie Lee in heaven.  Her parents have made good things happen because of the years they had Maggie Lee living with them.
