It's hard to believe another summer has flown past and here we are just a week and a half from school beginning.
As we slowly start preparing the children for school again (stricter bed times and review of spelling words, etc.), I reflect back to last October when one of our sons came home sick, little did we know or understand that he was in a battle for his life.
It seems like yesterday we were facing those dark times. We praise God that he is healed and here with us as we prepare for this school year.
Unfortunately, this is not the case for one of the friends from a Guatemala Mom group I'm a member of...
Just weeks ago, she could kiss the face of her sweet daughter, who happens to be the exact same age of our son who had been so sick and she was also going into the 3rd grade this year just like him...
But now...
Her sweet baby passed away after a terrible brain injury from a car accident.
Life is so fleeting... Gabby's story here on earth has now become a song in Heaven. We have the hope and promise we will see her one day. Her Mama and Daddy are such Godly people and must find great comfort in the fact Gabby is in the arms of Jesus.
Please pray for them, the Lewis family, as their son, who is 5 was also injured as well as the children's grandparents. All trying to recover.
As we prepare for this new school season, let's try not to stress over not finding 130 pre-sharpened #2 pencils or any other silly things. Enjoy each moment, enjoy each kiss, we don't need to live in worry or fear, but we need to live like Jesus will come any moment.
Blessings be on you all!

I Peter 5: 6 - 11
I Peter 5:6-11
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
