Special Gifts........

Thursday, April 8, 2010

I made myself get busy before Easter and made a special box for a little girl, Mya.

She lost something dear to her. Her sister passed away in a car accident. She has two older sisters, but Kylee was 5 and Mya 3 so they were the younger two sisters. I'm sure you can imagine the sisterhood between the two. I would see them at church holding hands and felt the need to take her a "box".

A special note of a memory I had of Kylee & Mya together.

Since I don't have girls I had fun putting together pink things..........{Although Luke thought the box was pretty interesting!}

A belated shower gift that I wrapped & delivered. The delivered part is important as that seems to be my downfall. I love putting things off...........

Changes will come to our website, we're very slow and that's just the way it is when you have a family. Some days just keeping the basics done is a big accomplishment to us!!!

Hugs,

"Home"

Monday, March 29, 2010

I heard tragic news on Saturday of a horrific car crash in Kentucky. A group of Mennonites were on their way to a wedding in Iowa. 11 passengers, all but two small Guatemalan children ages 3 & 5 passed away. The van was hit head on by a semi-truck on I-65.

Here is their amazing singing on you tube........ "Home" by the Eshes, I love old hymns, praise songs and the amazing talent of singing without music accompaniment.

This particular song will move you in light of what happened to this family. Even though I don't know this family I will pray for their relatives, church congregation and for the people that know them.
