This weekend was a very calm and slow paced weekend. We did however go to a funeral for a 19 year old young man that Ryan used to teach as a youth pastor. The funeral was more of a celebration of life and Jesus, than what I had prepared myself for. It forced us to remember how fragile life really can be. Also, on Friday I found out that Reece's favorite teacher had found her husband dead in their bed. She is now a single-widowed mother of 3 very young kids. My heart breaks for both of these families! Life really can be taken away in a second! I pray that I will continue to live life with an open hand, and not let these tragedies close my fist around my loved ones... And prompt God to take someone or something away!!!
On a lighter note--- it is just a few days away from thanksgiving! We are so excited about going to Dallas to see my family for the holiday. Since we are not going to see Ryan's family this year... His mom, dad and Aunt Nan stopped by today for a little pre-thanksgiving visit! Aunt Nan got a lot of Avery snuggles with she helded him as they rocked together in the rocking chair. It was so much fun, and we are so thankful for everyone in both of our families!!!
Happy Thanksgiving
