Today was an amazing day from start to finish. It is such an amazing day for Christians as today marks the day that Jesus rose from the dead.
As the day started my church held their service at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland. What was more amazing than that our church wanted to give back to the Portland Community by donating are entire offering to Barbara Bush Hospital. This was a very special event for me. When Emma Grace was 1yrs old she almost died. She had to be on life support for approx. 10 days while her body fought an infection in her throat. It was a very scary time in our life. One where you realize that we our God's children and we have no control over when he decides to bring us home. We were very thankful that He has continued to allow us to be Emma's parents. When we were on the Barabara Bush Unit we met and saw many families who this is a part of their lives daily. It was an honor for me to be a part of this event. Praise God our church offering was over 30,000. May all the families, children and hospital staff be blessed by this offering and know this was a gift from God.
Than we had our African friends over for Easter Dinner. They are now part of our family. The lessons they taught us will be life changing. People think they do not have much but They have SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! They are happy and are so thankful for what they do have. Contentment, Joy, Love, Kindness are just a few of the traits that you can see in their smiles. I will have some pictures added.
So in recapping my day; being reminded of the never failing Hope in Jesus, Giving to Barbara Bush to help families at some of the hardest moments in their life; and then extending our family with 7 new family members.
I am so Blessed. Thank you Lord for teaching me daily. I LOVE you.
