Strength from the fast

As you know, Dallas and I began a 60 day fast for McCoy starting at the beginning of February.  We invited some family members to join us for 30 days.  Without knowing who is fasting, or for what precise purpose (McCoy's surgery in general or something more specific), it has been amazing to see and feel blessings that have come as a result of this joint fast.  Without really even being able to put into words the feelings we've experienced, suffice it to say, we (and especially me) have felt a significant added measure of strength of peace come into our lives.  In big ways, but also small ways, we have seen Heavenly Father's hand in so many areas in our life these past weeks, and we've felt Him extend his loving arms around us in moments of sadness and despair.  It is obvious to us that these "extra" blessings we've been given have come because of our efforts, yours included, to fast on behalf of McCoy.  We can't express enough the gratitude we have for all the love that has been shown to McCoy, and to us.  We are grateful for your willingness to fast with us, and we are thankful for all the prayers.  These seemingly small efforts have already made a difference in our lives, and we feel at peace knowing we can continue to experience blessings as a result of these efforts.
