While staying and caring for my grandparents while their little house was being built on our property, we met and got to know some of their neighbors. One neighbor who lived right across the street was an older man who was diagnosed with cancer. When we knew he was having a cancer treatment, we would try and bring some kind of baked good or flowers over just to let him know we were thinking and praying for him.
The weekend we started packing my grandparents to move to our home, we saw hospice had been called, and we decided to bring a bunch of sunflowers. I know this may sound weird to some of you, but when Lex and I stood in the isle, trying to decide what kind of flowers to buy, it was hard! We didn't want to pick something condolenceish and stuffy...we just wanted something appropriately cheerful, and what better flower than a sunflower.......and a bunch of them.
Our neighbor passed away two days later, and as we drove past their house in the early morning on our way to church, you could see they put the vase full of sunflowers right in the kitchen window, and we knew we had done the right thing by bringing those flowers.
Our hearts felt so touched.
Just a f.y.i.....sunflowers are always a good idea. 🌻

Sunset in the swamp...
Here it is...July...one of the hottest months here in Florida! Living here, you know July and August are just so, so very h.o.t. , all you can think about is Fall and sweaters and cozy bonfires and maybe the temps getting down in the 70's.
Buuut....we do have some gorgeous sunsets. ☼
One Sunday, after leaving church and taking my grandparents back to their home in Lakeland for our last weekend there, this gorgeous sunset was surrounding us, and Paul said hey, let's catch the sunset at the lake! My grandmother thought we were crazy and stayed in the car😁, while we ran through someones field to watch the sun go down.

We would appreciate your prayers as our church begins our Summer Vacation Bible School Monday morning...our hearts desire is that children and their families learn who Jesus is, and realize His great love for them. Many of the children signed up to come, will be hearing about the life of Daniel and his friends for the first time, and we are praying that this week will be a week that they remember forever and will have a lasting impact on their little lives.
