It is beginning to look a lot more like Christmas around the Smith household, thanks to two amazing ladies…Heather and Kelly. Out of the kindness of their hearts, they wanted to bless me and my family by helping me decorate for the holidays. They showed up at my front doorstep this past Thursday morning, hands full with tons of goodies to trim the house and tree! As they began to decorate, Carson and baby Selah played contently together on the floor, I stood in amazement at what was going on. These ladies took the time to prayerfully consider how they could bless us, organized this wonderful idea, shopped for all the supplies, coordinated child care (thanks Emo!) and took time out of their very busy lives to serve us! Their examples are extraordinary. What was so evident as I watched them joyfully serve is that they both treasure Jesus Christ more than anything and what I saw and was benefiting from was an overflow of their love for god. Their love for the Lord is so compelling…their faith in Christ is not just something that is private to them and is demonstrated through acts of devotion behind closed doors, but one that sends them out to serve others and bless others with what they have been given. We are the VERY undeserving beneficiaries of the overflow of their love for the Lord and words will never be able to express how thankful we truly are. Heather and Kelly (Dave and Mark)- THANK YOU! We love you guys dearly and are so grateful to God for your friendship.
