God is Awesome!

On my previous post I asked for prayers for our sweet friends. I just wanted to give you an update. We went to the birthday party that they had for her, where we released over 100 pink and purple balloons. It was a really neat experience the children all went around and said something they loved about Dylan. We attended the funeral that evening and it was heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. The parents were amazing, they worshiped in the midst of this terrible tragedy. They always say that when you go through difficult times you can always see how a person really is, like what there heart is really like? Well, you truly saw Christ shining through them as they ministered to others that evening. We feel truly blessed to call this couple friends and to have been a part in the celebration of the life of sweet Dylan. Please remember to keep this couple in your prayers. I know that as the next few weeks go by and everyone stops coming around everyday that the reality will set in. There are certainly some difficult times ahead of them. But we know that our God is bigger than any that the enemy will throw their way. We know that His Word says that " No weapon formed against me shall prosper" I am praying and believing that for this precious family.

Thank you for the update. They have been on my mind. At least they will be able to find comfort in knowing where their little Dylan is and that they will be able to see him again one day.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. I John 3:1
