Olympian!!!

This past week was the Field day for the special needs children in many of the surrounding school districts. Many of the schools come to our town and compete . The really nice thing is the local college allows the use of their track for the event. I use the word "compete" very lightly". The children are of varying abilities so it is more like really cool recess. Becca had a blast, and so did her teacher and 1 on1 aid. It fills my heart with joy to see Becca being able to spread her wings and enjoy life like every child should. Cindy and I fell so blessed to be given such a special girl to love, and I wish everyone could feel the way I feel inside every time I see her smile. Many people tell us that it is great what we are doing for the girls, I ussually respond by telling them , that the girls have given me more than I will ever be able to give back. They have filled my heart with more joy than I could haver dreamed.

What a beautiful testament to the love and joy God gives us, and to experience it all through a child... How amazing! You and Cindy are so blessed and so is Becca. In a way, it's a reflection of our relationship with Christ. He chose us and gives us His blessings and joy and in return we use our human-capabilities to reflect God's glory. So, too, has Becca been chosen by you and the relationship mirrors that of the Father. You two heap on the love and blessings to her and in return, her happiness reflects the love you've given her. We love you and can't wait to get more updates! Hope to hook up with you this hunting season too ;) -Nathan

Thanks Nathan, I thank God everyday for bringing Becca into our lives. I can't wait to chase some goats with you.
