From the Mouth of the Most High

Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? — Lamentations 3:37-38

Today is Kirk's mom's birthday.

We thought Abby might be born on this day, too.

But she came two days earlier. 

And Rita and Gary were doting grandparents.

So was my mom.

When Rita passed away in May 2011, it was a sad day for our family.

Even so, we rejoiced that God gave us 5 more years than her doctor expected when she was first diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer.

We still miss her.

And we treasure the memories we have with her.

She made our family times very special.

From God's mouth both calamities and good things come.

We praise Him for blessing us with so many good things.
