Sometimes, waiting or sacrificing things is actually just opening the door for God to grant us the desires of our hearts in a spectacular way...

Young Men Mentoring Little Ones

Have you ever wondered how you impact others through seemingly simple actions of service or hospitality?

We have enjoyed a morning spent with our dearly beloved Kronz Family at their beautiful farm.

Whenever I visit with my girlfriend for a time of fellowship, her sons take time to sit and talk and play with my little one. Giving me the gift of time spent free to talk and truly enjoy some well loved moments of peace.

It is such a blessing to see... the connection they make with Thomas. I am sure it is a chore at times to keep my little guy occupied, but the fact is, that time is well spent. Thomas is truly blessed by the time these young men take out of their own busy lives to love him and mentor him as if he were their very own brother. These boys are living out the unconditional love of Christ...

It just brings a smile to my face...

Tears welled up in my eyes after reading your words. Thomas is a beloved member of our "family" and Josiah gleans great lessons of patience, gentleness, and unselfishness from his time spent with Thomas. There is a heart-felt connection there. In fact, I never told you how Josiah just weeped and fretted over Thomas with his casts : )
Thank you for trusting Thomas with us. We serve and love you by serving and loving him.
Much love, K.
