Christmas shopping with a purpose

The idea of shopping with a purpose is something I have been hearing a lot about this year...buying a gift for someone that will also have proceeds that will go to a charity, orphanage, family in need, etc.  Please consider this opportunity when purchasing your Christmas gifts or even a little pick-me-up for yourself.  Simply Light the Way  is a delicious-smelling line of candles...and the candle-makers are generously donating a portion of their proceeds to help with Henry's medical expenses!  We can personally testify to how wonderful these candles are...great scents without being over-powering and they burn very clean & evenly.  Here is a link to their website for information on the scents, pricing, and contact info for ordering:  http://www.simplylighttheway.com/  

Also, a huge thank you to all of you that have emailed recipes for the contest at Danny's school.  I believe that the winners are announced at the end of December or beginning of January.  We will be sure to let you know if one of the recipes we submitted turns up a winner.  We are so hopeful that one will....and there are many that look so good.  We feel that we have a really good chance at this!  For those of you that haven't had the chance to email a recipe yet, you still have a few days.  I think the last day we can submit a recipe is November 20.  So, keep 'em coming! 

Also, for an update, Danny spoke with David earlier tonight and it sounds like all went well with Henry today.  Continuing to slowly back him off his meds!

As always, your prayers are appreciated so very much.  We truly believe we have witnessed the power of prayer in Henry's continued healing and successful surgery.  Their family will continue to need this prayer and support in what is hopefully Henry's last few weeks at the hospital for this round, health for Henry & parents during the cold-and-flu season, growth of the pulmonary veins, financial provisions to cover the medical expenses, and on & on the list of prayers goes.  I am sure David & Dana haven't had the time or energy after long days at the hospital to personally thank all of you for your support, but please do know that they are so grateful for your ongoing concern for their family.  THANK YOU!
