We must be distant kin, MayflowerMadam! You get those cards, too! I decided a long time ago that “image is everything” to some people. You know that no one’s life is that perfect...
We sent out around 40 cards, but I wanted to share with you one card/letter that came to us. It was from a family friend of my husband’s who he knew back before she got married. They met at the 88 Olympics (both Olympic athletes) got married and had 2 kids...great life, both loved Jesus Christ and raising their kids to love HIM as well. Well in July this year, the husband, son and son’s friend were killed as his small planed crashed just off the runway in Sedona. Now the wife, and daughter wrote this Christmas still praising God, still remembering this past year and yet by the end of the letter the tears were just flowing for the honesty, the pain, the love that flowed in this precious letter. Wow, praise God for the strength to send out such a letter and to help us know how to continue to pray as she said “your letters and prayers really do help”...May we never give up sending CHristmas Letters of real meaning to others.
