We have been blessed as a family with the gift of a weekend away, just the 5 of us. We actually can't remember a time when that has ever happened, and we know it hasn't happened since me moved to Guatemala. In the midst of our demanding ministry we have started to lose sight of our family and having fun together. Prayerfully this weekend will be a time when we can really reconnect together and recharge ourselves.
As we prepare for this weekend we are extra blessed and happy to have this time, because we know that it can all too quickly be taken away from us. We ask you to please join us in prayer for the Dave and Melinda Evans family. Two of their children were in Abigail's Kindergarten class, but they have since move to the Dominican Republic. Melinda, the mother of seven children (four of whom are adopted and with special needs) passed on earlier this week. It was completely unexpected to us, but certainly not to the great I AM. But please, be praying for comfort for this family and for people to come around them and help take care of those children.
Please, hug your kids (or grandkids) a little tighter tonight, remember to cherish the time you have with them, pray for those who aren't with you, and pray for the Evans family.
