Our family has been through so much we were stuck in grief and then we had a fire. When you all learned of it you ran to our aid: offered housing, food, financial support, emotional support, the skills to repair. You gave us friendship. You gave us family. Thank you for being God's hands and feet and His expression of love. A special thank you to Robby Babel for his hard work. "Come and see what God has done-" Psalm 66:5 Marius, Lisa, and August James
