Prayer Works

I'm into counting my blessings today - here are just a few of many:

• My dad's latest scan showed that his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is gone. Totally gone. He's finishing up his weekly chemo treatments in the next few weeks and having another PET scan and bone marrow test to do a final check, but his doctors are confident they won't find anything.
• Baby Izabela is growing like a weed and gaining more muscle control by the day. She's not totally out of the woods yet, but she's steadily getting better.
• The soldiers of Alpha Battery, 3rd Bn., 320th Field Artillery Regiment (aka the soldiers who get homemade cookies and brownies from me every month) are proudly serving our country in Iraq and doing well, despite getting cookies and brownies from me every month. Their leader (whose name I'll keep private until I know for sure it's okay to share here) actually took the time to write the Princesses and I a lovely letter thanking us for the latest shipment of goodies. How cool (and incredibly sweet) is that? I'm thrilled that we can do anything to make their time away from home a little (bad pun alert) sweeter - there's another box heading your way later this week, guys...but besides praying for your safety, we also pray every day you'll get to come home soon.

Anyone else want to share some answered prayers?
