Sarah's Birthday

Today was Sarah's birthday. We are sorry we did not get a chance to send out a reminder but we were traveling this weekend and last night we had the Christmas Party for kids going to the cancer clinic at Childrens.

Sarah had a great day and we do not take these birthdays for granted. We praise God for giving us another year with Sarah even as difficult this year has been. We rejoice at her birthday but also as we get toward the first anniversay of her diagnosis, we also have painful memories. As we look back at Sarah's pictures last year from her birthday, you can already see she was starting to look pale and sick. Of course, it took a month to find out exactly what was causing it but as we look back we know these were the first signs of the cancer.

As Paul tells us in the Bible we are to forget the past and strain toward the future. This is so true for us as we get closer to the end of the year and the 15th of January when our life was turned upside down.

We celebrate today and as you can see from the picture, Sarah is full of joy and thank God for that!
