To Grace, Rebecca, Finn, Kevin...thank you for sharing your heart ❤️ Feeling so helpless i continue to pray and carry you in my heart. I have “Grace” days when i wear the T-shirt “#byHisGrace” and just spend the day praying for your sweet family. Love you loads!!!

Rebecca, thank you so much for your beautiful post. We think of all of your family daily. You have God's unbelievable blessings already, but there are so many more that will come from this time. Continued prayers are always in our thoughts. Love to all of you.

Rebecca - You are a gifted writer. I love to read your updates as they feel like poetry. Grace gets prayed for every day in our house. Ed, Trey, and I pray for her together daily (sometimes more than once as we pray for her during our mealtime). I know something beautiful will come of this season of her life (and yours for that matter). Your description of the scar resonates with me. I have never worried so much about something as Trey's scar down the middle of his chest after his open heart surgery. I also understand the worry of the long-term affects of this illness. As you know Trey, will have a lifetime of health care needed. I also worry about his spouse and pray daily for someone who will love him unconditionally. I completely understand. What I have come to realize is the beauty in all of it. Just like you described. The heartache, the pain, the worry...they all mold you in a way that brings an unexplained compassion for others. You will be marching on the side of God's Righteousness as this will mold you and everyone in your household to have a deep love for people who are suffering, and that's what God wants of us. That scar will one day be her badge of honor. That worry will one day remind you that God takes care of everything, because you will be able to check off all the ways He took care of every single worry. The spouse...I have no doubt this journey is taking Grace to the man of her dreams. I truly believe you will be able to connect this time to how she met her 'perfect mate'. I know beauty is on its way. I know the sun will shine again. I know God loves each of you deeply. I am looking forward to the day we can all celebrate her healing and look back on the beauty of it all.

---We love you guys!

Thank you for this update, Rebecca. Of course, it is not what we hoped to hear but it gives us a better avenue for prayer. Thanks, also, for including news about your mom. We love Grace and your family.

Oh Rebecca, we continue to pray.
I cannot even imagine how you feel and how Grace feels but God knows and I know He is literally carrying you all.
I love you so much!

Your message is a blessing to all who read it and to all of us who love the Howrens. We see God’s beauty in you, Rebecca, and through your words. Always praying and always in our hearts.❤️

Such a heartfelt and meaningful post. I think about and pray for all of you so often and will continue. I can relate to so many things you mentioned and truly feel for you. Grace has a beautiful, inspiring spirit. Finn is so wise and mature. God has beauty in store for them and that is certain!!! Sending love to all of you.

Thank you so much for the update. We think about you all and pray for you often.
Grace is amazing and so are you, Kevin and Finn!
Sending lots of prayers and love your way!
