Can a heart be full of joy and sadness at the same time?  I think it is possible.  My heart is full of so much emotion right now.  Yesterday I met, for the first time, one of my online friends.  We have “known” eachother online for over two years, but have never met in real life.  Yesterday she came to our home, bringing along with her…her husband, her 8 blessed children and showers of BLESSINGS for my soul!!!!!!!!!!

Ed and Jen came into our home with so much grace and ease….they encouraged me to rest and took over everything!  I LOVED IT!  They cooked for everyone, they cleaned, they laughed with us, they cried with us…The Lord used them to refresh and renew our souls, as the battles of life have been strong!!!!!!!!!

They don't know it yet...but loving on and holding their twin babies healed a part of my own soul that is so raw..........

One might think that a home filled with 18 people would be chaotic, but I could feel the Holy Spirit’s presence strong!!!!!!!!  The Lord used them in so many ways while they were here.  When the drove off today my children cried.  They took a piece of us with them L.

SO, I am so joyful for the time we were able to spend together…and so sad they are gone.  I will write another time of the wonderful memories of our time together…but for now…..Ed and Jen….Thank you for blessing our family!  We love you and your children so much!  We look forward to heaven when we can spend ALL of our days together!
