Yet, sometimes it’s in the barren, dry, and difficult times
that the Lord shows us more of Him.

This past week has been full of little reminders about God’s great
love and sacrifice for us through Jesus Christ.
We thank him for our special memories in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska.

The children wrote the uncles letters for Father’s Day.
These men are such great examples of how
our Heavenly Father loves, cares, and leads us.

words and grateful hearts on Father’s Day.
