Hi friends!
I'm writing this today, not for myself for an old family friend and his family, Rodney Lamfers, who went home to our Heavenly Father last night at 11:00 pm. I believe I've asked to keep him in your prayers before, but if not here is a link to get familiar with him and his family. I have to believe that God is in control, and Rodney is no longer in pain or suffering, but my heart aches for this wife who has lost the love of her life, and the 3 little girls who have lost their daddy. I think of my own family, and can't even begin to imagine the heart break they must be feeling. I was reading some scripture last night and Deuteronomy 33:27 was put out there for me, and now I know why....it gave me some peace when I heard of Rodney's passing...." The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms".
My daughter Kaitlyn and I are flying up to Sioux Center to visit my Mom for a long weekend. She has been ill with pneumonia, and has been in the hospital. Not sure how much I'll be able to care for her, so we'll let my sister Sherri be the boss. Wait...we're going to my Mom's, no one is the boss except her. I'm still having good days and bad days, but I'm alive and I have a very loving, caring family around me.
Thank you for all your support, and all your prayers. I know the Lamfer's family will appreciate them too!

Lisa, I hope that you and Kaitlyn had a great visit with your mom. No matter what you can do for her physcially, your presence matters more than you know. I have thought about, and prayed for the Lamfers family. I believe that you must be a special blessing in the life of this amazing family. I am grateful for the gift of life and the promise of life forever. I know this must be true for you in ways that I have yet to imagine. Love, Nancy
