a gift from God
...we have many friends, some old and some new, but i'm hesitant to attempt to put into words how i feel about the reinert family. they spent the weekend in our home as they have many times over the year and a half that we have lived in different states. we had many good laughs, sat out to gaze at the stars with a fire in the chimnea, painted nails, the house was filled with beautiful music, we reminised about our children who are growing up way too fast, ate more than we should have, the kids turned the back yard into one big tent, we shared what Father is impressing on our hearts and encouraged one another, all in just a couple of days. these are our friends we don't have to entertain--when they are over it is like coming home again, they know everything about us, they have made us better people, they encourage us as children of God, when we are together, and even apart, we are the body of Christ--we are family. to gene, lisa and serenity--we love you and miss you even though you've only been gone 7 hours, 13 minutes and counting, till we see you again! thank you for blessing our lives this weekend.
