Lindsey's Birthday - We look upward....

Just had to share what our pastor Dr. Euler in Chattanooga would say is "a God sighting".

On Lindsey's birthday this year, we went to our favorite place in NC for quiet family time. The beautiful mountains, hiking, waterfalls, golfing - this place has become a safe haven for us when we are hurting. April 4th was an absolutely beautiful Saturday and we enjoyed all of the above! As we have done the 2 previous years, we went on a hike and Cadence let off a balloon to Lindsey.

Later that day when we came home, we received a package from our friend Amber Carlson. She had sent this artist's picture called "Waiting". She said it reminded her of Lindsey and just helped her imagine that Lindsey is holding a balloon waiting for us in Heaven. I know that this may seem silly to some of you, but the fact that we rec'd this a few hours after we had let go of the balloon was just another moment of grace that God has given to us that He even cares about how we choose to remember our loved ones on their birthdays! It wasn't a coincedence - it was God showing His love to us!

Thanks for the update post--I love the picture of Cadence letting go of the balloon. What a neat shot!

I am so glad you guys have your special place in the mountains . . . and that God continues to show Himself to you as He is caring for you.

And I'm glad you got the print in the mail when you did! :) We were thinking of you guys and of her.
