Thankful: Day 53

My heart is heavy for a dear friend whose husband passed away this week. The celebration of her husband's life was today.

Sande has been such an amazing encouragement to me over the last several months. She went back to school with kids and completely understands the demands on my time, patience, and heart.

Just a few weeks ago (maybe it was a month ago?) we sat at a table with Sande and Jimmy at the new kids' pastor meet and greet at the church. We talked, laughed, ate pizza, and had such a fantastic time visiting. Now, my heart is breaking for her.

I hope and pray that the Lord can use me to encourage her as He has used her to encourage me. For now, my thoughts and prayers are with Sande, Jimmy and Aimee as they begin this new journey.
