We have been so grateful for Tom and Deb for many years, for many reasons. A few major reasons being that they did our pre-marriage counseling for us, have remained faithful, serving, loving friends to us, and have adopted us as their own children (not to mention they are storing 85% of our things in their basement while we are in Haiti!). A new reason to add to this list is Deb's emails- Deb has sent us an email every single day since we left for Haiti. Each email includes details about what she did that day, and a scripture for us to reflect on.
I love hearing about the progress of her new nursery (they are becoming grandparents in August!), how her horse is doing at the stable, and even about the weather patterns of this Georgia summer :) They also did pre-marriage counseling for some of our best friends (Kathryn & Charlie), and now they are doing it for my childhood best friend and her soon to be husband (Carly & Micah)- and it's so fun to watch their relationships flourish with these other couples that we love. They never stop serving! Hearing from her each day, even if it's just a short email, reminds us of home and makes us feel not so far away.
Thank you for loving us so unceasingly and purely. We love you and are thankful to God for how He has shown us His love through you!

What an encouragement! I feel like you should save all these e-mails and make them into a journal or scrapbook of some sort whenever you move back from Haiti :)
ReplyDeleteWe give thanks with you. It is the ultimate blessing when someone loves your children and cares for them - no matter how old they are. God has used Tom and Deb in ways only He really knows. Thank you Jenna for your timely reminder.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, as a parent, it's easy to see the thoughtfulness of others and first think, "Why didn't I do that?" But we have to remember that God's Kingdom is a tapestry with so many lives woven together. I am so grateful that he has woven your life together with the Kulscars (and the Moons!). It lifts some of the burden that is carried by your parents - hoping that you are well and encouraged. Thanks be to God for these lovely, expressive, compassionate friends! You are blessed.
ReplyDeleteIn posting this, I hoped it would give our parents some relief in knowing that we have a village of people praying for us and involved in our lives. I hope it brings you peace to know we are well taken care of! Also... We don't need every day emails from our parents ;)
