Manna from heaven

I wouldn't necessarily use the word "thrive" to describe the kids' and my state of mind since Blake's been gone, but....to be honest, I think we are doing quite well. Is this because I am super in any way? No. Is it because my kids are perfect? Certainly not.

I can say without a doubt that we are still standing because so many precious people around the world are praying for us-----and because God has so richly encouraged the kids and me through the outpouring of support we've received.

This week at dinner I was reading the kids the story of The Feeding of the 5,000. Then I told the story of God providing manna from heaven to feed the Israelites in the desert. Erika said, "It's kinda like how God's been feeding us with all the meals your friends have brought or invited us to."

"Yes, Erika. Just like that."
