Not Forgotten

A year ago this weekend is when we lost a sweet little friend of ours, Emme. Even though it has been a year and Julia is only 3 she has still not forgotten her first best friend. A song on my blog called "Angels in the Room" was playing a few days ago and Julia (whom I didn't even know was listening) looked up from her toy and said "Emme loves this song". I said "She does?" and she simply said "Yes, she sings it" and went back to playing. Julia still asks the same questions every week or so which includes: "Emme is with God?" she will say in a question tone. She also remembers "Emme's stomach all better now" and "God loves Emme and is taking care of her." We all miss Emme and continue to pray for her family.

Working Hard

Happy Homeschool Snow Day!

Shelter Visit

Sarah worked so hard Monday night on putting all of those boxes together. Then Tuesday night she went through and organized about half of the bags of clothes into mens, womens, and kids. And then Wednesday she went through the other half! Bless her heart, she really put in a lot of work. We got up yesterday morning and made about 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies to take with us. All of the men that were there got together in the family room and ate still hot cookies and Sarah was able to hand out their boxes. We left the clothes for them to go through later. The pictures do not show everybody because a few acted a little embarrased at us taking pictures and a few others loved it. We just took the two. The men were very thankful and polite. I wished we could have stayed longer and talked more but there was a strange vibe almost like we were rushed after we handed out the boxes by the employee. We really had a good time though. I believe most of them are able to read and we encouraged them to read the bibles inside. Thank you so much for everyone who made this possible.
