The last two weeks have been interesting, exciting, awesome and of course a little sad. We have had some amazing people here from Ohio and PA. They have won the hearts of our kids and we have grown to love them and will miss them a lot. It’s hard for me to understand how there are so many wonderful people and God plans when you get to meet them. These 5 individuals came when we needed them the most!
Willie and the rest of the long term staff went out to the MDS All Units Meeting in Mobile, Alabama today and it’s been raining so I had a lot of time to think about stuff (in between changing my kids wet clothing)... I was thinking of this whole ‘experience’ and had time to reflect on all the people we’ve met from different worlds who all love the same God. I hesitate to call it an experience because really this is what life should be like. Waking up in the morning thinking about how we can make someone else’s day better... where can we serve and what can we do. Who needs to talk to someone and will I take time for them... How many blessings does God really have in store for one lifetime? It’s amazing what you all see when you open your spiritual eyes. It’s so fun to see Him working - I see it so often in the kids as they interact with ‘strangers on Monday’ and hug and kiss their ‘friends on Friday’. It’s hard to realize that a lot of these ‘angels’ you won’t see again on this side of Heaven. But taking what we can from each meeting and allowing it to make us a better person so that we can bless someone else.
I don’t know if any of this makes sense... I’m getting a little distracted... Willie is talking to our neighbor Merlyn through our bedroom window... we’re such Mississippi rednecks!
