Quieted Heart
Our family came back to the U.S. in January to say goodbye and be with Kennedy's mom Rosie as she went through the last stage of bone cancer. Rosie died April 2oth, 11:23 a.m. When she died Kennedy was holding her hand and she was in her own room in her own house. The memorial service was beautiful, a gathering of those who loved her and colorful flowers arranged around a favorite picture. We are grateful that we had the time to spend here at home with her, to say all the things we wanted to say, and for a sweet goodbye to a beloved woman.
We are going to Chicago for the first 2 weeks of this month, May. Our children will stay with their grandparents and finish up schooling.
This summer we are planning to spend a lot of time camping and hiking before we pack our bags to return to Southern Thailand late July. We are praying that this time will be a time to quiet and heal our hearts as a family so we are ready to give it our all when we return to Thailand. There are 13 new believers waiting for us at the Music/Art Center.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, listening ears, support and encouraging words these past few months. It has all helped us so much and we are grateful for you.
Life is full of painful, strange events, alongside the wonderful, delightful ones...we want to walk them all with the Lover of our Souls.
Let's continue to love and encourage one another.
