SEVEN YEARS!!!

It is so hard to believe that my precious Jennifer has been gone for seven years....sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday!  I miss her so much and know that I always will....grateful that she has her Daddy with her now and that I will see them both again!  Yesterday was the anniversary of her death.  Our church has a mission in Kenya.  Yesterday at church, I was able to make a donation and have a tree planted in the memory of Jennifer and Pete!  Jennifer had told me many times that she wished that she was able to go on one of the mission trips with our church.  Pete and I always tried to plant a tree or bush in her memory each year.....this worked out to be a perfect thing to do! 

Another thing that was close to Jennifer's heart was the homeless.  Yesterday, was our Sunday at church to feed the homeless under the Broadway bridge.  It was gorgeous day out and we had a huge crowd....we actually ran out of food....last month, we had food leftover.  It was good worship service.  There were two women there that were pregnant.....I so wanted to bring them home with me and care for them!  I will keep them close in prayer!

I am hoping that Spring is here to stay....this weather has been crazy going from hot to cold and back.  I know that in a couple of months, we will be wishing for the cooler temperatures. 

When I got home yesterday, my sweet neighbors were out working in the garden and planting....it was finally dry enough!  I know that we will all enjoy the fruits of their labor!

God is good and He is good ALL the time!
