About a month ago I ran into an acquaintance, Brent Bates, at the grocery store. It was one of those embarrassing moments for me because he came up to me and I knew that I knew him but I couldn’t remember his name or how I knew him. So i just fessed up and said sorry but you are going to have to remind me. Well it turns out he has a daughter with disabilities and he knew about my son Ben so he began sharing a story of how he was trying to find a place for his daughter to live. Of course I shared my attachment to Beverly Farm and after a fairly long grocery store chat we both went our way. Fast forward to today and again I run into Brent at the grocery store but this time the conversation became very serious very fast. Brent told me he took his daughter Amanda for a visit to Beverly Farm and she loved it! Brent was excited for her and all was looking good. However, Amanda has come down with a life threatening infection just this past week and the doctors have told Brent that there is really nothing else they can do for her. She is now in hospice and she is only in her 20’s. Thursday is her birthday! She told Brent before she got sick that she always dreamed of living on a farm with horses. Beverly farm has horses.  So prayer warriors could you all say an extra prayer for Amanda today. We all need prayer and there are people on our prayer list who need your prayer. I just wanted to get a little extra boost for Amanda.  Life changes so quickly. Make love your number one priority everyday because Jesus taught us that to love our neighbor as ourselves is fulfilling all the law and all the prophets. Thank you. Sincerely, Kent
