Hearts That Hurt

About 2-1/2 years ago God brought this family into our lives. An amazing single mother, Jennifer, and her two incredible children, TBarry, and Madison! The friendship that formed was truly "all God!" Today this precious family is going home to Illinois...and I must say, we all have heavy hearts! But I believe that this is part of God's plan, it says so in Jeremiah 29:11. The faith that has been displayed by this trio of goodness is something that we can all aspire to possess...a deep faith that is unwavering...no matter what this world uses to try and "shake" it!

Our lives are richer for having known them, they will be forever in our hearts...and in the house of God! I look at this as the beginning...not the end...of many trips to Illinois! I look at this as part of the tapestry of life, with a thread coming into the pattern here and weaving out of the pattern there...but still a vital part of the weave!

My prayer is that God will show them more mercy and grace than they have ever known...and reveal to them the reason that He needs them up there in Illinois! We love you Jennifer, TBarry, and Madison!
