greetings from your Chaparral family

Randall and Teri,

The prayers of Chaparral have been with you through this “Valley of the shadow.” There’s no denying that it’s a very real shadow. There’s also the promise that it is ONLY a shadow, and that God’s Son shines brightly all around. It’s His light that breaks through. People ask about you every week, Randall. The blog is a wonderful communication means. I called once early on, and realized you all are being smothered in calls. We’re still smothering you in prayers and love. God is at work.

The congregation approved moving ahead with the Prayer Garden, and bids for its construction will be coming in about 2 weeks. There are places designated for works of art by Randall. Without fail your drawings of the wind harp are met with the sound of the intake of breath. I believe that’s called “taking our breath away.” We look forward to moving ahead with these projects as soon as you are able. In God’s time.

May God hold you all in His unfailing hands.

Love,

Larry Hostetler and your Chaparral family
