Hey Hatchers just wanted to say you were blessed and will be blessed. I know because it is the Glory of God. I just wanted to give you a verse that is very close to my heart, Psalm 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. I hope this will be close to your heart as it is mine. Can't wait to see all of y'all very soon,May soon.
Love,Grace
P.S. Julia & Sam I got Band Hero(it is a game that you can play drums, guitar and sing)! So give me a call if you want to come over in the 1st week of May to play!!! Grace

Wonderful Hatchers, The days are drawing closer to your arrival back home and your lives are forever changed. A true reminder of how all our lives are transformed when we choose to follow Jesus. I am doing a study by James MacDonald that focuses on a changed attitude, turning from complaining to an attitude of gratitude. Just a few thoughts to direct & encourage you in the few days remaining before you truly come home as a family. 1Thes. 5:18 says "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Notice God said ALL and not just some. Here is another quote from the study from Melody Beattie, "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." And it can turn an orphan into a son and give him the opportunity to be a son of the King. Praise Jesus, the name above all names, and the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords! May our God enrich your lives as you continue on your Rainbow Journey and travel home to begin anew the path set before you. Prayers, love, peace, blessings & thanks, Susie

WOW, today Linda told me about this website - I rushed home and read every day - loved it. I laughed. I cried. I praised God!. I have been praying since you left that Sunday - since I saw you (Amy, and company) at the Animal House. Now I know what's been going on - so glad I've been praying! I rejoice with you over the graciousness of God and look forward to seeing you soon. Blessings!
