prayer update

I know this is really unusual......  but please consider the circumstances.   Cary

Dear Friends -

 

The first part of 2015 was good.  Don had a few difficulties health wise, but those were finally solved.  The second part of 2015 has been a trial for our family.

 

At the beginning of July, our oldest daughter Colleen was stricken with a spinal stroke.  This has left her paralyzed from the waist down.  She has suffered numerous problems, in and out of the hospital since that time.  After another 6 week stay in the hospital, she is going to be able to come home for Christmas.

 

Our entire family gathers every year for Thanksgiving in Kansas City but this year we met in Sioux Falls where we were able to be with Colleen and family.  We kept that hospital pretty busy those few days!

 

We are blessed with so many friends and, once again we ask for your ongoing prayers for Colleen as she and her family face many challenges in the year to come.    We are truly grateful for each of our friends and family and take hope in the miracle of the season.  May God grant you peace, health and happiness in the New Year.

 

Merry Christmas,

 

 

Don and Joan Linnan
