For those of you who know Linda and me, our desires in serving others at the Canon City Queen Anne, this blog may seem odd; a prayer for our grandson.
However, we know it is critical for us to give thanks for all we have been provided, faith, family, friends, customers and part of that thanks is most of you who have visited the Queen Anne know there is scripture on each table. It is there to remind all of us to give thanks for the many blessings in living in a country that was founded on religious freedom.
Our dear 16 year old grandson Kenne Ballard has been facing a major health issue in his inability to urinate, leading to surgeries and now his having to carry a urine bag. He is scheduled for major reconstructive surgery Wed. 4/7 and we ask for your prayers that the surgeons are successful and he can return to being a young man with hope, joy for the future.
To understand Kenne we must share that he is a sweet spirit, a young man who works hard in all that he does, faith, family, studies, sports (known as “Mr. 3″ for his ability to make 3 point shots on the basketball team.)
More than that he is the first born of four children, so he has had to carry the burden of more discipline and learning to share.
We know there is something special in Kenne’s future, we are confident that he will be healed and move forward, we just pray that this experience will strengthen his faith and encourage him to know how much others love him.
Our love,
Grandma, pa, Great Grandma Ethel, Annie and Cody’man.
