We've been away, but please know that Forrest - and your entire family - are never far from my thoughts or absent from my daily prayers.<br /><br />Rae, I hope that your trip was smooth and successful that you were not overly anxious to be away. <br /><br />Please know that many of us are eager to DO something while you all are working so hard getting Forrest back on his feet and ready for surgery. Lynn, would you let us know via the blog? I'm happy to help, and I know many others are, too. Food, shopping, errand running, animals, anything. <br /><br />I am most fond of leaving quotes from scripture on the blog to reassure Team Forrest that they, and Forrest, all have the constant presence of a loving God in their midst. But, yesterday, after the world cup women's final, a favorite quote came to mind that seemed applicable to the team and also made me think of Forrest and his journey to date:<br /><br />Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts ~ Winston Churchill<br /><br />All our love to each of you,<br />Shannon and familyShannon Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558600851918303710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555377803207503556.post-56451624769788130712011-07-17T23:06:04.938-04:002011-07-17T23:06:04.938-04:00Hi Forrest!

That's a wonderful sign of things to come. <br /><br />You are all in our prayers, and we're praying that Mum is having a safe and productive business trip. Keep up the good work!!<br /><br />Love, <br /> <br />Joyce and Wilbur EllisJoyce in Missourihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804178259035777410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555377803207503556.post-6032713226998369442011-07-16T02:03:19.128-04:002011-07-16T02:03:19.128-04:00You know, the Tour de France is going on right now...You know, the Tour de France is going on right now. I watch in amazement as, each day, those incredible athletes tackle the climbs, the curves, the breath-stopping descents, torrential rain, and sweltering heat, while all the while trying to dodge crashes and go FAST. These impressive cyclists make me think of Forrest's drive, determination, and tenacity. Every day, no matter the conditions, he gets up and gives it his all! He might be wearing an orange jersey in these pictures but he has earned the yellow jersey in our eyes.<br /><br />I am really happy to hear Lynn's observation that Forrest has put on a bit of weight. I can see it in the pictures, too. When can we start sending cookies?<br /><br />Mum will be back soon, now. She'll be so proud and appreciative of the whole<br /> Team 44. Carry on with all our love and support!<br /><br />Love,<br />Diane & JayDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121514729677207803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555377803207503556.post-22002651667355471462011-07-15T12:33:00.569-04:002011-07-15T12:33:00.569-04:00Just wanted to check in and let you know that you ...Just wanted to check in and let you know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers, Forrest. Glad you got to see some of your teachers. Keep up the good work young man!! From what your brother tells us, you never have given up on a fight... so keep on fighting.
