Lee's Visit

I wanted to share some smiles with everyone. This is from the day that Lee left to return to Iraq. I hope this will ease some minds that through the sadness of the day- we know that this was the last time we would have to say goodbye to him. Only with the strength of Jesus have we made it this far, and he will make good on his promises til the end of this. You never know how precious one day is until you only have 14 out of one year to spend with the one person that you love the most. We love you Lee. Please pray for these guys as they travel and have to return.

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Ephesians 6:10
