As the sun broke on that morning, we stood also broken staring at the remainder of our home. Huddled together outside of our neighbors house, we watched our safe haven fall from the flames. And as the ashes settled, the reality settled in our hearts….home was gone.
In 2013, we walked through the threshold of our farmhouse with thankful hearts. We grew from a family of five, to a family of eight. We welcomed strangers into our house, and waved as new friends left. We took away and added, we created and learned, we cried and we laughed, but above all we loved. We created so many memories inside the walls of our house. And in 2023 as we crossed over the threshold of our farmhouse one final time with all six of our treasures to safety, it was also with thankful hearts.
I do not know what the future holds for us, but I do know WHO holds my future. And His plans are always perfect and good.
February 2, 2023, He saved us by His grace, and His alone. Our praises are to Him now and forever more.
