Dad's Funeral & Visitation...

So nice to see so many family and friends. We are grateful for everyone's love, cards, flowers, visits yesterday and today. So many hugs. Beautiful music from Aunt Melissa, and kind words from grandkids and Molly. Great food from Heather, and time for the cousins to be together. Amongst all the tears and sadness of saying good-bye to grandpa, I think he would have been honored. The hardest part for me was seeing my brothers choke up...And I loved to hear all the stories from Dad's every walk of life. I know that some of you have been praying that all would go well with all the kids and everything, and it all went wonderfully, especially from help from our electronic whiz Uncle Chuck!

Now our prayer will be to help Mom grieve and not get too lonely. It will be a few long hard quiet months for her I think, but pray that she will be ok. I am so grateful that she has a good solid job to keep her days occupied.

Thank-you for helping us through this time. It has been a blessing to have your encouragement. To God be the Glory, for Dad's life, our family, your encouragement and every day we have to live for Him....A&C

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
