How Great Is Our God

The night before Ethan's 11th birthday, Hilary and Elisabeth lovingly set to work creating and painting t-shirts. Team Ethan uniforms were hung and ready to go sometime around 2:30 a.m.

I am blessed to have such an amazing family.  Everyone present was drafted on to Team Ethan and expressed love and devotion by donning a team shirt. Ethan was elated to have his own baseball team. We had a great celebration for our favorite 11 year old grandson.


 The love and support shown by all is why family exists.

How great is our God!

The same day my girls and family gathered to bless Ethan, my brother, sisters, their children and grandchild assembled together to support my Mom and Dad. Mom's brother passed away and it was the day of his funeral. I wish I could have been there, but they were surrounded by family. How great is our God.

The only members of the family absent from these two events were Christopher & Lauren.  They were with their precious, 1 week old babe, Ivydee, who was in the hospital having treatments for jaundice. They were not alone. Lauren's mom and dad were with them caring for and supporting them. How great is our God?

Thank-you Lord for the family where you graciously placed me.  Thank-you that my family continues to grow where Your love is multiplied.


Truthfully,
Joanne


For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; (Ps. 96:4)
