Caleb Joshua

I am sad but, in a strange way, relieved to tell you Caleb has been freed from his earthly body only to be received by our precious God. I have been blessed to witness such amazing things over this last year as Annette and David's precious son lived more than many of us live in a lifetime. It might sound a bit cliche' but the quote "It is not about how many years one has in his life, but the life one has in his years" defines what is possible for one little person to experience in such a short life. God gave Annette and David the immeasurable gift of accepting His plan for Caleb and giving Caleb every opportunity to LIVE over this last year. From meeting Cinderella to eating Taco Cabana several times per week, his parents NEVER hesitated, made excuses, or ignored Caleb's desire to live life to it's fullest and they savored every moment of it. God is so faithful! It just proves God blesses us with good things even in the midst of life's trials. Our job is just to look for it, recognize it, and glorify Him for it. This is what Caleb's parent's have done over this last year with complete humility. So please continue to lift them up as they learn to live on this Earth without their son.

In addition, Scott lost his 50 y/o cousin this week as well. He lived in the Woodlands, fell asleep with his wife of 26 years, then passed in the early morning hours unexpectedly. His name was Bob Burleson. Please lift up his family as well. They too have been comforted by God's grace through this unexpected event and a Devine peace surrounds them.

So, yes, it has been a rather emotional, but blessed week around here. We continue to give thanks to the Lord for the days he does give us. My children and husband might start getting tired of all the hugs and kisses, but they will just have to deal. I love them and you all to pieces!

Thank you God for giving me every opportunity to witness and participate in your work. I know you don't need me to accomplish anything, but you invite me to be part of it which is so humbling. Thank you for being so faithful and continually creating good out of seemingly challenging situations. Amen
