Special friends!!

We have met some amazing people since our move to Fort Worth. Two of those people are our friends, Jack and Velma. We sat behind them on our first visit to Birchman and have sat there since. Jack and Velma took us in immediately and have always treated us like family. We have grown to love this couple and will miss them dearly. Below is a picture of us last fall at our church's Trunk or Treat.

They treated us to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants last night, The Mesquite Grill. The food was great, but our time together was even better. We love you guys so much!

"The world is not our place of rest; it is a time of work and follow hard after Je$us. When we get home, we can rest.
