Be of Good Cheer :)

On our first trip up to Camp Sunshine we made great friends with volunteer counselor Christina. She is a flight attendant and met the drummer for Earth Wind & Fire, John Paris, a couple of years ago on a flight. They have become the best of friends. When Christina was with Matt that week, he was singing Earth Wind & Fire songs...he can't hold a conversation, but he can sing along with just about any EWF song! HE LOVES EWF. So do I...they have been a part of my life since I bought the 45 for Shining Star when I was about 10! Their positive music has inspired me all my life through good times and bad. Can you believe the SMALL world?! Their music is something that Matt and I share that is very special.

Christina and John arranged a night for us on Saturday with complimentary tickets to the show and passes to the Aftershow. It was amazing!

Mallory noticed, "It seems that since Megan has gotten sick, a lot of things have been happening that people in our family would hope for..." We are being supported in incredible and miraculous ways with not only things that we need...but also the extra good things.

I remember when Megan was first diagnosed sitting in the hospital and feeling that I should look up all the scriptures that say to "be of good cheer". There's another scripture that I think about all the time from the Book of Mormon: "And I will ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs...and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions." Mosiah 24:14

Things like an amazing evening with Earth Wind & Fire really help. A lot! smw
