The Way of Treasure

Dear God...
I live in a world where people expect their pearls to float
their diamonds to be scattered across the surface of the mountain
and their gold to wash ashore on the waves.


Teach us to again the way of treasure.

Wonderful Mother's Day notes!

(letter from Kristin Kucholick)
"Thank you. It was amazing seeing you today. I just got done talking to Kelly about how amazing you and her and Julie McCool and Kevin and vickie hinkle are. I have appreciated everything you all have done for me and my brother. Of course m...en are not as emotional and outspoken as women, but we both love you all so much for your prayers and thoughts. Just remember, we are who we are because of parents like you. We lacked the stability we needed as high school students and you all reached out with open arms. It is because of people like you that people like Johnny and I have had the strength to get through it all. We both love and appreciate it all. Thank you. Happy mothers day to you all because that is what you were to the both of us. What we didn't have at the time. Thank you all."


(letter from my oldest son: Matt.)
Mom,


I'm about to eat lunch with you... you can remember this mothers day as the college card because I'm eating ramon, and have 45 cents left, which is sitting on my night stand ;). Thank you for all you do for the family. So many seeds you planted in me follow me now and help get me through my days. I'm about to be on my own, and watching the way you guys handled your problems is going to be my model for success once I finally get my start. God truly blessed me with having such great parents. Thanks for everything Mom.


Matt :)
