I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.
Philippians 1:3-5
I want to express my gratitude to you for these past two months. The Lord has granted me great comfort and has poured out immense grace throughout these days, and He has used you to do it. Thank you.
From the concern expressed to the kindness shown to the love displayed toward me, I am forever grateful and appreciate it very much. The Lord has been wonderfully kind to use all that you have been and done for me for my comfort. Thank you.
God has dealt with me in such a merciful way during these recent weeks that I cannot imagine one thing that I would change in an attempt to improve upon what He has done in and for me. He is merciful in all His ways, and though His ways are past finding out, He does all things well.
My attempt to offer thanks via this small note is far too inferior when compared with what you all been for and done for me. Nonetheless, thank you.
God has definitely given me the best fathomable situation for living through these circumstances at this time. Sure, He dealt a heavy blow, but He has not left me alone. Rather, He has kept His loving hand hovered over me, protecting me, comforting me, loving me. What He has provided in family, friends, my church, and the Church worldwide is astounding even now for me to consider. Thank you.
And still the greatest thing that God has done for me was to not spare Christ, but to give Him up for me, so that He may freely give me all things. Not free to Him, it cost Him His Son. But wonderfully free to me.
Samuel Rutherford said it well when he penned these words, "To live on Christ's love is a king's life".
Please accept this 'thank-you' for all that you have done for me.
I do covet your continuing prayers on my behalf, and on behalf of Ellie and Isaac as well.

I can not imagine what the last two months has been like for you and it is with God's arms wrapped around you that you have been so strong and I admire you sooo much.
It takes a remarkable man to have the determination you have, the courage you have, and the trust that you have in God. I am only able to send my love and support from a distance and pray for you, Ellie and Issac everyday. I pray for your safety as you travel back and forth with the children to New Albany and on the trips you have planned.
I can promise you one thing, that knowing Amber and loving her from a distance, since her death, has brought me closer to the Lord and she gave me the encouragement to be a better person and to live the way God would want me to live. She has touched sooo many lives around the world of people that did not even know her. She truly was and is a angel.
Thank you for all the comments you have written on here. They inspire me and I continue to lift you and your family up daily.
Thanks for the update....continuing to think and pray for your family.
We are still praying for all of you. And thank you still for the cold water...
How precious you are to share your heart and God's graciousness to you with the rest of us. Know that through your transparency you have challenged me in my relationship with the Lord and so has Amber's life. I think of you guys daily and am still praying for you.
You are a precious servant of God and you love Him and your wife well. You are being lifted up today.
Just yesterday, our dear friend Steve became a widower, left to care for his two daughters. As you seek the Lord in your healing, I would ask that you petition the Lord on Steve's behalf, too. There is divine fellowship in suffering.
Praying for you in Kentucky.
