Outreach

We have been so blessed over the past few months by people reaching out to us and providing us with meals, childcare, encouraging notes and books, cleaning our house, and on and on.  There is something about people expressing their love through serving you that is so incredibly humbling.  We can not even begin to express our gratitude for our church family and our friends and Scott's co-workers.  Then today, while we were at church,  Northridge Church in Jackson, had a team come to our house, rake our leaves and pick up a tree that has been down in our yard for about a year.  They take one Sunday a month to go out and serve someone and this month, their focus was on adoptive/foster families.  It is so touching and moving that they would choose to come help us so we can spend that time focusing on our family.  When you adopt a child, it really is like coming home with a newborn.  There is intensive time needed to focus on integrating that child into your family.  Time that takes away from everyday things that need to be done.  Adjustments have to be made and schedules tweaked.  We are so grateful to Northridge Church and to everyone else who has made our life a little easier by reaching out to us in the past few months.  Thank you.  What an example all of you are to us.


Here is the pile of leaves they ended up with and it is just as deep as it is wide in this shot!
