I took the above picture of Caleb and Gracie Mae the night before his tragic passing. So
many emotions have flooded our lives these past few weeks that it is hard to
even put them into words. We have moved to a new state and ministry, become
first-time grandparents, and have had to say goodbye to our youngest son, Caleb
and all this in a week’s time! While this has obviously been a very difficult time, the outpouring of love that has been shown to us
has been incredibly comforting. John said that when we love each other, we are
reflecting the unseen but very real God. “No
one has ever seen God; but if we love each other, God lives in us and His love
is made complete in us” (1 Jn. 4:12). We have been loved on
by so many people, and we’ve seen the face of God through this tragic time.
Thank you for your prayers, calls, texts, visits, cards and letters and other
generous expressions of love that you have shown to our family. We have read some of the
most heartfelt and sweetest words this past week. We’ve smiled, we’ve cried, and we’ve thanked God for each you and the love you have demonstrated. All of you
are amazing! Please continue to pray for us and especially Sierra and baby
Gracie Mae.

What a sweet picture of Caleb and Gracie!!! The love and awe can be seen in his face!
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Gracie Mae looks quite content with Dad (and enthusiastic about her bottle!). Lovely picture.
We still pray, precious family...for y'all, Ben and Rachel, and Caleb's girls at home.
