Weekend Joys
Good Morning,
This weekend was full of blessings. Gary and I attended a cancer support Christmas party!! It was such a blessing, the home of the hostess was beautiful, and the love shown for Jesus and each other was comforting and healing. All there shared their stories and their prayer needs. AND yesterday we welcomed a new little one into the family!! Grampa was so happy to hold him!!! We are all so blessed and excited that Gary felt well enough to enjoy this weekend and that will be our continued prayers as we head off to have the new chemo pump installed. Thank you each of you, Team Barton can do this because of each of you!!!

So glad to hear Gary is able to enjoy the new "addition"!! What a joy new life brings. Gary I'm praying for you and your family. You continue to rally and inspire all of us with your strength and courage. May God continue to bless you and bring healing to you.
Thinking of you and want to wish you a great holiday, just ran into another volleyball mom Michelle from DCA (that you played bass with at church) last night at Trader Joe's. We were talking about how much you have encouraged us and your strength that has inspired so many! Love you so much!
Merry Christmas! We are so blessed. Thank you for sharing your good news and joy with us. Continued prayers for complete healing. xoxoxo

What a wonderful Christmas Blessing for you both! So glad that you have gained some weight back Gary. You and your family are so often in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for the Chemo pump situation and that God will continue to guide and strengthen you each step of the way, that your house will sell and that you will be able to spend Christmas with your loved ones.
