As we celebrated the Messiah’s coming with only part of our birth family (you can see Josh and Kimia and their girls in the photo next to the Jesus candle), we couldn’t help but be thankful for
the families God provides for us wherever we are. Over the years we have been so very blessed to have close friends, sometimes family, to share life with.
Sometimes they are so full of life and joy and God’s love that it just washes over you and soothes the ache of being away from the ones you grew up with. Lynn & Gary have made their home ours. Totally. Unreservedly. With abandon. We are so thankful for the huge part they play in our kids’ lives and now ours.We can call this home sweet home and get a glimpse of what the future holds for those who believe. Just a glimpse, ‘cuz we’re not really home yet!
We hope and pray that your Christmas was joyful and that your New Year is blessed!
