For the 3rd time I am going to try to post this message.
What a beautiful and handsome family!!!!
Chris I wish you could have seen the turn out at the Tuesday night prayer meeting. You would have been thrilled---you are so prayed up!!!! We had a full house.
I also wish you could have heard the wonderful testimonials about how you have blessed so many people in McCook, in the short time you have been here!!!
I know God is going to do a miraculous thing for you and your family.
Chris & Eunice, you are very much in our prayers. What a testimony you have been and are to our family. You are our extended family. God speed to a full recovery. Love, Earl & Letha
What a beautiful family! We love you dearly and will be praying for a miracle tomorrow and for special skill and clarity of mind for your doctor. One of my best friends is a Neurosurgeon in Bismark, ND and he and his wife are praying also. What a great impact you have made on those of us in McCook since your arrival. May your way be peaceful and your recovery rapid and uneventful. Numbers 6:24-26 Ken
We are praying for you this morning, our hearts are there. We continue to ask God to guide the surgeons hands, and to be the unseen guest around that operating table. This morning a song came to mind that I would like to share. "God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind.So when you don't see His plan, when you can't trace His hand-trust His heart-trust His heart-trust His heart. Prayers Dan & Christy
Chris, Eunice, and family - We are praying for you along with a multitude of others. We pray multiple times each day and through the night. When we wake (and it is often - by God's design), we pray. We love you. Jim & Lela
You have been in our hearts and prayers everyday. I smiled when I read Christy's comment because I have been repeating that song over and over all week. We don't understand but must trust His heart.You have a beautiful family and you have blessed this church and community beyond words. We will continue to pray for you and your family as you go through this trying time. Terry and Evelyn
"The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him." ~Nahum 1:7 Lord God, you have knitt Chris together, you know his frame, his heart and his soul. Hold him steady, LORD God, and let your mercy be known to him, to Eunice and to their children. They are precious to us and we know they are infinitely valuable to You. We bless you Name, HOLY ONE. Even in this, recieve glory. Thank you for your servants, Chris and Eunice. We pray for healing, as only you can give. Let us see your glory, Lord. Please hold them close at this moment and speak your love to their hearts. Amen.
"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken," says the LORD who has compassion on you. (Is 54:10).
May your family know the hesed love of the Father who watches over you and keeps you under the shelter of His wings. May He bring His beauty out of what seems to be ashes to us - treasures out of the darkness and hidden riches out of the secret places of the Most High (Is 45:2-3).
This morning we are witnessing your church family gathering every hour to bow the knee in worship and supplication on your behalf. May it be a sweet aroma to our God. We love you - In grace and peace and the love of the Father and of our Lord Jesus Christ, Tim and Sharon
It is so hard to explain the love we have for you!! God has put you in our lives just this year, and we feel so very close to you already!
We pray for you many many times through the day, and will continue to while we trust that God is working in & through this situation. We are expecting miracles, and I am sure you will tell us of many when you get home.
Now Chris & Mike will both have battle scars to compare, and to talk about how God brought them through! He is faithful!
Bethany, Liberty, (Libby for short(our horse)) and I are anxious for you to pet her, and go for a ride when you get back!! She is a sweety and I think you will really like her!
Eunice, we will have plenty to talk about over our Tues. coffee. I am looking forward to it!
May God bless you just as you have been such a blessing to us!
Know that you are His beloved children. I pray that the Lord will stay your hearts on what is true and that you would feel sweet communion with our Living God as you seek Him for strength.
Thank you for the honor of carrying your family to the throne of grace in prayer. This song has blessed me immensly in times of trial.
"Be still, my soul. The Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul. The waves and wind still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below."
Chris, Eunice and family, You are constantly in our prayers. I know that God can perform miracles and pray that this is the time He would choose to do so. You have touched so many lives here and have truly been a blessing to all of us who know you. We will continue to pray for God's will to be done. Keep us posted. God Bless Dorene and family
That is sooooo Chris...quoting a Psalm in Hebrew. I can totally visualize that one! Ha! I got a kick out of hearing about it.
Eunice, Chris and family - you are on my heart and in my prayers continually. I am so glad the surgery went well and that Chris came out of recovery so well.
I told someone yesterday that I am ready for him (Chris) to be back and work and giving me a hard time! :-)
We haven't attacked the Snickers yet, but may have to before you return.
Chris, Eunice and Family, Phil. 4:6-7 "Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and THANK HIM for what He has already done.
If you do this, you will experience God's peace which is far more wonderful than our mind can understand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as you live IN Christ Jesus."
We are thinking of each one of you and praying for you! You quitely enter our hearts through out the day and we lift you up in prayer. Stay strong and hurry back!
Eunice...we miss you at the office! You are missing some really fun days in the markets. Bethany we miss you around the dinner table at nights...I sure enjoyed having a "blonde" daughter for a week!
Love to each of you and know we are close in thoughts and prayers! Brad, Sharleen, McKenzie, Madison and Grady
I was so glad to hear the the story about Chris speaking in Hebrew!!! I fretted all last evening and through the night about what the outcome of him waking up would be!!! Thank You Jesus!! Knowing he "is back" and he has his mind and his sense of humor has lifted the weight of the world off my shoulders! Today was a much better day here for me! I thought I was going to have to get some 'wheels' for these 'bags under my eyes' for all the tears I have shed! :-) I may even get a good nights sleep tonight!
I trust you have all had a better day today as well!! What an Awesome God we have...we continue to pray for a miracle and total healing!
Took a call from Ms Miller yesterday...she sends her love.
Pastor Chris and Eunice, Greetings from sunny Colorado. I woke up early this morning preparing for our movers to arrive, as we are moving into a new home today. The sun was so bright and its warmth immeasurable. The verse that came to my heart as I was thanking God for all he's provided was "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart." That means the Good and 'Not so good' times. You have been in our prayers, Chris, and will continue to be. Eunice, we prayed a special hug be given to you to ensure your strength through all of this. Love truly can conquer all. GOD is love! Be strong each day, celebrate each day regardless of the circumstances. "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you BUT to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 You both have been a blessing to McKenna and I. You know what else? GOD ISN'T FINISHED WITH YOU YET ;) Your life and testament is only just beginning! We look forward to seeing you very very soon. And you are deeply loved!!
Wish we could all be with you all. We have been praying for you and we are so happy that you came through surgery so well. Sounds like there are alot of positives to dwell on also. You all have always been like family to us, especially my little sister, Lauren. She is so special. Give everyone hugs and kisses and tell them we love them. We will continue to pray for healing and comfort. Love to all, Rebecca
Am so thankful that we are kept posted on how you are doing and so glad that Eunice is their with you and know that she is such a comfort to you and you to her at this troubled time. Know that God is with you both and only he know how the outcome will be. Just know that I would not have come through my ordeal with out your prayers and God being with me all the way. Delores Kathka
Boker tov and happy Thanksgiving Chris and Eunice! We pray that you will have a great day together! Please know that you are thought of and prayed for often each day by our family. We have much to be thankful for as we have a gracious God. We are truly grateful for your friendship. Maybe if things are going good tomorrow those Texans down there will let you watch your favorite Husker football team handily defeat those pesky Colrado Buffs! We will continue to pray..."His grace is sufficient..." 2Cor 12:9-10
Dear Chris, Eunice and the whole Atkins family. We have been praying for you all and keeping touch via your blog. We have loved seeing the photo slide show Lauren did, it has been so long since we have seen you all! What a beautiful family. We will continue to keep you in our hearts and prayers, and look forward to having you back in the heartland in 6 weeks or so. God bless you and keep you, love Barb Chad and Rachel

We are praying for peace and comfort tonight, and precise skill on the part of the dr. tomorrow.
You're in our thoughts and prayers constantly Chris and Eunice.
We love you!
