New life and stepping up!

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ethan. He is precious. His mom and dad have been going to our church for a few months. He is stationed nearby. They have no family here. We are so grateful for his sacrifice and service. Our church family is really stepping up to the plate to help them with the baby "goodies" and meals once they get home.

These days we get so busy that we forget what we are here for.....first, to worship God, and second, to serve Him by helping and loving others. Life is too short!

We are trying to teach our sons to be givers. My husband was actually talking with our oldest about this today. We explained to him how both sets of his grandparents are givers.....and that we are striving to do the same. I pray we can influence both our sons to give over and above to God, the church and to others.
