So to surprise the guy, we had a party this past weekend and it was really great to have his brother, Don, as well as Don's three youngest here all the way from Racine. They were a blessing to have as well as the rest of the friends who came to celebrate John's success. It was a fun time, and we all enjoyed ourselves.
More importantly, God is good to us all, and He is the Good Shepherd who cares for us: not just to provide a bare minimum and being stingy with us, but rather, a Shepherd who gives us the ultimate care, with blessings beyond we can imagine.
