The blessings of the Benefit.

It is not possible to put into words what the benefit for Mom was like.

While many of you were there to see for yourself, I know many could not attend and I wanted to share a little about it here.

First I want to just say that the people that worked on this auction and on the committee are a group of people that we as a family will forever be grateful to. The amount of hours spent planning and working on this event was no doubt equal to another full time job.

I am hoping to have pictures to post for you all at some point, I just have to find out who has some. :) ( if any of you do have pictures and can email them to me, I will post them on the blog to share with everyone here.)

There were hundreds of silent auction items, dozens of raffled items, and over 50 live auction items. There was an innumerable amount of desserts that were some of best I've seen. Our family was so very humbled by the outpouring of gifts, services, time, and donations. Mom and Dad were blessed at the amount of people that took time out of their schedules to attend and donate some of the most wonderful items I have ever seen at an auction of this kind.

We thank you for your love and support of Mom and Dad and want to again thank you for your generosity and love shown to them through this season in their lives.

I want to extend a special thanks to those on the committee who worked so hard for the last 4 months planning this enormous event. Your hours of service made the event so well organized and efficient, and we were amazed at the care in every detail.

We are blessed beyond measure and thank God for all your hands, feet and hearts that worked to make it a success. It was a beautiful gift to Mom and Dad.

We feel humbled and grateful to all who were able to come and support this effort.

Thank you.
Kimberly and family

God is great, and greatly to be Praised. He is the provider. I praise Him for your successful benefit and great turn out and look forward to the promised pictures. But, the battle is not yet over, and the need for prayer and concern continues. Let us Thank God for what He HAS done, but we need to thank Him for WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO.... He is the God of our tomorrows. What HAS happened is to show us He never changes, and to give us added hope for all our tomorrows. AS you finish your treatments and move forward Deva, know that we continue to love you and hold you in prayer.
