Moving On

The time drew nearer and nearer...Henry & Heather were getting ready to move. At last. After a year a half of having their lovely home on the market, it sold. And with some last minute drama. :) Always.

I was happy. sad. excited. sad. and couldn't wait to see where God would use them next. and sad. But mostly happy. :)

We did a small family goodbye party, with a few neighbors and friends to help join in the sad fun time.

It says it all.

The heads of this home - the ones that made everyone that walked through the doors feel so welcome, loved and special - by making them feel one of the family. Many hearts were encouraged towards authenticity and motivated to keep going - even when life was hard - by these two and their family. I came here often. But now, I'll have to go bug them at their new home as often as I can. :) (It's towards Niagara Falls, so a bit further. At least you're still in Canada for a while.) 

After a few more days of packing, they all left one Friday morning in their white van. I had some tears. They didn't spill over onto my cheeks...but filled up my eyes. :) So many that I love, leave Mount Pleasant in large white vans.... but, really, even though it's a bit sad.... it's terribly exciting....

...when you're on God's path.
