Welcome

If you are new to our site, this blog is sort of a hodge podge of our ministry and family life, and whatever else God lays on my heart to share. The Home Page above will link you to our Sufficient Grace Ministries page. You can read more about the 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and the outreaches of this ministry whose mission is to offer comfort and hope to grieving parents. The Blog button brings you to the page you are currently reading, featuring a variety of subjects...some ministry updates, some family news, and some biblically-based encouragement. The Walking With You page is a place for bereaved parents who have lost a baby or child to find encouragement and hope. It is an online support group created so that families would know they are not walking this path alone. On the Dreams of You Shop page, you can learn more about the products and services we offer, place an order, or sponsor a family. The Encouraging Women blog is a work in progress. There, we hope to offer biblically-based encouragement to all women. The Resource page has been newly updated with a list of resources that are helpful for grieving parents. Our blogroll is also located on this page. Thank you so much for visiting our site. Blessings to you...

I'm Gonna Miss This


It's funny the things we notice when we're looking. The things that get our attention and stop time for a moment. Sights, sounds, smells that whisper, "This is something to stop and soak into the depths
 of who you are...something to remember."

For me, it's the rhythmic clink-clack of golf clubs slung on the backs of my boys as they walk the course. They walk, and I follow, clubs clink-clacking...me, breathing it all in.


It's the sound of summer...the sound of fall...the sound of boys - young, healthy, and strong for this moment...doing what they love.




It's the sound of little brothers looking up to big brothers...and dads walking alongside.

It's the sound of me, following behind...soaking it in.

You made me cry. I still can't believe Timothy is going to graduate this year!

You know...it's so ironic that the title is about missing...it's after midnight, I should be WAY in bed (Luke had a rough night) and I thought, "I'm going to try and catch a blog or two. I REALLY miss Kelly."

Your pictures sort of made me tear up too. It goes too quickly...
