Fletcher Family Summer 2010

I look at this picture and think WOW! God is so good! It is hard to believe how far we have come in such a few short years!  Kylee just turned 5 and is about to start kindergarten. Jude is 3 and  a half and like his sister so full of life and awe and wonder at all that is around him.  We have a little one on the way that is due to arrive in October.  Kyle taught for 3 years, spent last year doing  an internship and becoming Dean of Students at Chehalis Middle School and this year was hired as the Assistant Principal.  I am the lucky wife and mother of these precious ones that gets to walk through all this wonderfulness with them!  Needless to say there are trials....things aren't always perfect but really we are so incredibly blessed and I am reminded that we have much to give.  Kyle preached this past Sunday and God used him to give a powerful message of the call to love God and love our neighbors.  There are people all around us that need love and support. They need to be cared for, they need help with the most basic needs and we don't want to miss the opportunities to serve those in need.  Our children have such a clear picture of this...they are so black and white in this way.  They don't get bogged down by what is convenient or what the best way would be.  They simply see a man or woman standing on the side of the road asking for money or food and they say, "Mama, he needs help. We should help him."  So maybe money gets tight but the reality is we have more than we need.  We have so much we can do without.  So my prayer is that God would open my eyes to all that I can be doing to love my neighbor!
