steak dinner...

Tonight we went out to dinner with another couple and our recreational therapists! We went to the Palo Alto Creamery! I made many suggestions to Ben about menu items and when he heard "New York Steak" he said in a loud voice, "steak!!" He knew what he wanted and how he wanted it cooked! This is Ben's first steak dinner in over 14 months! This has always been his favorite meal and has always told me that he picks out better ones than I do...I have to agree!





I know this is short but I am exausted beyond words! Please pray for rest and calmness for me!! I almost put the lotion that was on my finger tip in my eye yesterday thinking I was putting in my contact....if that doesn't explain my tiredness I don't know what does! Things have been a whirlwind around here and the emotions are running rampid!

Blessings!!

Dear One!! I am so glad you guys could go out and have steak. I have to agree, I like a good steak too. "Father, put your arms around Katie this moment. Give her the peace that passes all understanding, give her rest beyond all measure. Thank you for going before her and preparing the way, Thank you for giving her little hugs along the way that remind her You are caring for them the whole way." Amen and Amen Hugs to you, Marion

What a great smile on Ben! Bet he enjoyed that steak. Met your sis-in-law last week at AWANA at Westwood. Small world! Will continue as always to lift you and Ben up in prayer. Ellen

I don't comment everyday, but I pray for you both every single day and often days - multiple times. I hope and pray this transition goes smooth for you both and the new place offers just what Ben needs for his recovery.

Yum! Steak, how fun! I will definitely pray for peace and calmness on you and much rest! YOu most definitely would be exhausted and drained going through this! I remember going through my trial (mine and my husband's) we were so drained and exhausted but the Lord was faithful to carry us through and we are stronger beyond words, thank you Jesus!
