Overwhelmed Again (Naturally) (Graces and Mercies, Stinking Firsts)


Wow.

When I first floated the idea of celebrating Ian’s birthday at Feed My Starving Children, in my pessimism I thought that we would be able to get 10 people, max. Now, we’re at five time that amount, and we still have people asking if they can come. Every time we pass a round number, I keep thinking, “I bet we can get a few more…”

I want to say “thank you” to everyone who is going with us. First and foremost, you are fulfilling Jesus’ command to love your neighbors, in a very profound and intimate way. Thank you that you are helping other parents to not experience the pain that Deb and I are in. Plus, thank you for helping to give Deb & I something to focus on, instead of having to think about the upcoming “stinking first”. While Ian’s actual birthday is the 19th (the day after our party), hopefully we’ll be too tired to think about it.

BTW, today is the last day to RSVP. If you are interested in coming, either to the party, FMSC or to both, we need to know today. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
