One year ago today was Warren’s Memorial Service.  I shake my head.  A whole year without him.  Friends tell me they have tried to picture themselves in my shoes.  They can’t.  My response is “Me neither”.  Although at some point every day the truth reaches me.  Then I can’t move, I can hardly breath.  Just a tiny speck of the truth reaches me.

It is like that with heaven too.  Maybe it is just an incredible sense of peacefulness in the face parenting challenges (is anyone really smart enough for that job?) or a belly laugh when I get David’s joke and he joins in the laughter.  This too stops me and I take it in.  Just a speck of what is to come.

I relish the heaven on earth moments that take my breath away.

Thank you all for your prayers these past weeks.  We sure needed them (and still do).

On the first anniversary of Warren’s home going to heaven I wanted the boys to remember their dad’s teaching and taste heaven.  We did both.  So many letters came in from friends and family that it took us a week to read through them all.  The boys will each have a book of dad’s words to keep with them through life.  Jonathan came up with the idea of Geo-caching for a way to taste heaven – adventure, treasure, discovery,  excitement, fun… It was great.  Amazing that even our little town in Austria has hidden treasures.  I will check in with my computer tutor to see about putting up some of the pictures from that day.

I am just getting started with this Blog, but I look forward to communicating our lives and ministry with you.
