Thank you to all who want to provide for the Steinhauses! You have shown so strongly the beauty and bounty of the Body of Christ through your ministry of prayer and care for our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. We continually are humbled by this shower of love. Please know that the evidence of God working through you has spoken powerfully to many who do not know Christ and are watching as this testimony of praise unfolds in our lives. Thank you for your bold witness in the name of Christ!

Hebrews 13: 15-16 “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of the lips that confess His name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

In regards to meals for Lauren and Dan: Since only two are eating in their family, and they have limited space and don’t want to waste food, I think only 3 meals per meal of some sort (breakfast, lunch, dinner) will be sufficient.

I know many of you prefer to drop your food items at my home in Quail Valley: 2914 Nancy Belle Ln., Missouri City, TX 77459. Please do not hesitate in contacting me by cell: 832-455-2076, to set up a delivery time.

However, if you prefer to drop items at Dan’s and Laurens’ apartment, we are trying to minimize interruptions and exposures to germs as Lauren and Dan settle into a critical care routine with Jace at home, thus if you deliver items to them, please be aware that visits should be short, and as much as Lauren loves the little ones of others, your precious children should not be brought into the apartment. Thank you so much for understanding the limitations the Steinhauses need to employ.

I have set up a website with a calendar to allow those that want to choose a day to bring food. The link below should bring you to the calendar page, and by using the ID and code listed below, you should be able to access the personal calendar for Lauren and Dan. Choose your preferred date, click on a RED ‘meal’ and fill in your information. You (and I) will receive a confirmation of your generous offer. If the ‘meal’ is green, the meal has already been claimed or fulfilled. I will try to keep the site updated and even include some pictures and updates when I get a chance. I will also send updates out by email in the manner I’ve been using.

Many of you have mentioned that you would prefer providing a gift card or money for meals. Thank you! Please feel free to either give them to me or send them directly to Lauren and Dan at 15015 W. Airport Blvd, #323, Sugar Land, TX 77478.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me. I will get to them as quickly as possible.

Thank you and may blessings from our Lord overflow to you.

Humbly,
Kathy Hart

PS. As to Jace’s adjustment: Lauren and Dan have their hands very full trying to learn the machines and provide around the clock sustenance to him. You certainly can continue to pray for their wisdom and settling in to the critical care routine. Lauren will be doing most of the care as Dan will be working rather long hours beginning Monday. Jace and Lauren will visit his TCH pediatrician here in Sugar Land tomorrow. The hope is to get some insight into streamlining his feeds and making them more effective. His jaundice seems to be slowly improving, and after a very unsettled Friday with Jace running some fever, he seems to have adjusted pretty well to his new environment. We took some cute pictures today that I will try to post to the CareCalendar website soon. Thank you for your continued prayers for us.
