Two months ago Matt and I headed up into the mountains to mourn and pray together over the loss our sweet baby boy. Our good friends Ken and Jess came over to watch the boys for us. Amidst their own pain they took their afternoon to serve our family...can't explain how much they mean to us.
On that day, Ken and Jack buried a treasure together. Ken drew up a treasure map and told him he could dig it up in 30 days. Now, with an inspection and appraisal for the house on the way, we banned digging and decided to wait a little longer than 30 days to dig it up. That ban ended on Saturday....
There were about 3 toys and a special note for Jack. Jack has been going through a lot this year with going to school for the first time, a loss both his Daddy & Mama have been mourning for a couple months, and now his house selling and life being a little uncertain. This is what he found inside that mattered the most to him...
I believe that with the story that the Lord has given Jack, it will be important in his life to have Godly men speak truth into him and remind him of His Father's love. That is what Ken did for Jack on that day, he spoke truth and love into him. He showed him that God puts people in your life to walk with you when you need it. It made him feel so special to know that "Uncle" Ken was praying just for him for 30 whole days.
*If you are on the fence about being in a life group...you shouldn't be. We didn't even know Ken and Jessica a year ago until Life Group 65 was formed.*
Wow! How amazing, I am so incredibly thankful Jack has men in his life that share God's love with him even through the small things...like a buried treasure. God is shaping Jack's heart and it's is absolutely amazing to watch.
