A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families ... Psalm 68:5,6

The Face of Christ
... See you had no choice which day you would be born
Or the color of your skin, or what planet you'd be on
Would your mind be strong, would your eyes be blue or brown
Whether daddy would be rich, or if momma stuck around at all
So if you find yourself in a better place
You can't look down on the frown on the other guy's face
You gotta stoop down low, look him square in the eye
And get a funny feeling, 'cause you might be dealing...
With the face of Christ...

Hi, I came across your blog today and read it with much interest. I sincerely wish all the best in your family. You and your husband are genuinely generous people.
these moments are the quiet gifts from God that enable us to go from moment to moment and strength to strength. these moments are ones you ought to print and frame and hang on your wall in high-traffic areas.
Precious Beth. I so enjoy reading your updates. ~Kimberly
I will echo Kimberly's "precious!"
