God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

6 Years

Six years ago, on June 1st, our beautiful sons Christopher and Connor made their brief appearance on earth and then made their entrance into heaven.  We still experience sadness.  We miss all the opportunities we could have had as their parents.  Part of our heart will always belong to them.  We are also joyful that they are with their Savior.
We talk to Liam about his brothers.  He's seen their pictures before and has asked questions about them.  Yesterday on the way to church he said, "I wish I could visit them in heaven.  I want to see their mansion.  Mine will be green when I get there."  
When the twins died, we had memorial money given to Central Lutheran School's preschool fund.  This was the first year the preschool has been open.  With the memorial money, each preschooler got a gift.  The three year olds got a Jesus fish and the four year olds got a cross.  The parents were told about Christopher and Connor.  It is so neat to think that our little boys, who were only on earth a short time, are making a difference.  Children are hearing the gospel because of them.  We look forward to our family reunion!
