I too was tearing up when reading about the times with each of Anna's siblings. Anna is such an encouragement to not only her younger siblings but also us older folks. I marvel as I know it is the Grace of God that continues to shine Anna with her beautiful smile and her Trust in the Lord.

Several of our children commented on how strange it was that something so wonderful could be happening on the same day that Anna begins chemotherapy. Just a reminder that God has adopted us and loves us fervently, caring for us more than we can imagine. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Romans 8:15) Praying that our Heavenly Father will keep you from fearing the unknown, surround your family with His presence, continue to build your family's faith, and bring comfort and healing to Anna.<br />The BlackstadsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034413316979850127.post-5005300246927472472013-05-10T19:59:53.979-07:002013-05-10T19:59:53.979-07:00Anna, I love your smile!
