--------------------Welcome!
The Lord has blessed our family greatly both through adoption and birth. And because there are so many personalities in our family there is much to think about. This blog is a way to put some of those thoughts down and share our journey.
I hope that my words spur you on, encourage you on a so-so day, and point you to the Lord.

A Time for Everything
There is truly a time for everything and most of all everything is in the Lord's timing. This morning Ken's dad went home to be with the Lord, he was 84 years old. Glen had struggled with Alzheimer's disease in the last couple of years and really had not known for a while that he was with us.
I have known Glen for 19 years and know that he is fully healed today and praising the Lord. We will miss him. He was a man of God, disciplined in spending time with the Lord and in prayer. He had lived a full life and had spent many years in service to the Lord.
I am so grateful to Glen for the way he raised up his family. The godly example that he showed to his family has been priceless. I am so thankful for the molding he did in Ken's life. His example has helped to make Ken a wonderful, tender, loving husband and a great dad! Thank you Glen for staying close to the Lord all of your years.
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ken and Amy,
I am so sorry for your loss. What a blessing to be able to rejoice in his homecoming with the Lord in a fully restored body! We will especially be praying for you all as you are dealing with this the next few days. Praying for peace and comfort for your kids as well.
In His Grace,
Whitney
