Family Christmas


Maine friends Troy & Melissa were the last people that we saw before we moved from Machias.  Faithful friends to what we thought was the end, the Parsons showed up early the morning we left our farmhouse for our travel trailer adventure and a new life in Sheridan.  They helped us clean and pack up the last few things from the house and then waved us off.  If you would have told us that morning that we would all be living in Sheridan one day, we would have laughed.  If you said that we would be serving God together at a church in the mountain village of Story, we would have seriously questioned your sanity!

And yet, here we are.  What a kick it has been to be able to spend time with these precious friends that God surely placed in our lives. They are truly members of the family now and, as such, it was great to be able to spend a crisp Christmas Eve with them at church and then at a celebration at Grampa & Gramma's house.

We ate way too much food and laughed the night away - as it happens with family.
