Jim, very sorry for the loss of your things. It is a big hit in the short term — right to the crotch. Ouch. I am glad no one was hurt.

In the long term, however, what a great flipping adventure, story, experience. And what a great opportunity to draw near to the poor and vulnerable who live under the daily threat of violence and theft but have no one to turn to, no insurance, no parents, friends with resources, fall back position, etc. In most places in the world, it is the authorities themselves that are the thieves, the threat, or back it up. Just something to think about with your boys.

Your Dad is right. Great email from him about forgiving and moving on.

Wildman team. We are thinking and praying for you and hope that you are recovering from the assault on your belongings. Thank God you are safe. Aunt Sue and I are at Monteagle with your Mother and Aunt Amelia. We are able to stay in the Hermitage with heaters. We are excited about our new shower that is being put into Coming Home. We are amazed the it is nearly complete. I will let you have a shower in it next summer.

Your car is in our garage. I have driven it to keep the battery charged.

Aunt Sue and I just returned from three weeks in Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Very exciting trip. Learned a lot about our Lord’s agony in His road to the Cross. We can share with you about it when you get home. I wonder if you could work Jerusalem into your schedule. I would be a fantastic experience.

Love you and praying for you.

Uncle Andy

I grieve for your loses! I know it is almost painful at times to think of the things that we love that we have lost or have been taken from us. Being sad for those things is okay. But I know you are a strong family and you will overcome this together. Next summer you will all say to yourselves, ” remember that terrible day?” and then you will move on. Continue to write your heart out and encourage your family to do so also. Your sweet family is in our thoughts and I hope that you will soon again find abundant joy! Onward!

Wow! You continue to amaze me. I am thankful you are all safe. This experience,however discouraging,will be a good one for your sons. They are learning how unimportant “things” are and how truly important are the gifts our Father has for us. I feel so blessed that I am able to share this journey with you through your posts. I have always felt that God led you to our home and that you were the perfect answer to our prayers. Stay safe dear friends, you are in my prayers this Thanksgiving season.
