As our family has journeyed through grief, one thing that has always meant so much to us is when others ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ Parker and Haley. โฃ
โฃ
Could be remembering their birthday, could be remembering their heaven anniversary date, could be remembering our family on holidays that are typically joyful (Motherโ€™s Day, Fatherโ€™s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas), could be remembering different milestones that should have occurred but never did…and the list goes on and on…โฃ
โฃ
Even though our world personally stopped almost 11 years ago when we lost Parker and Haley, everyone elseโ€™s world didnโ€™t stop. They kept going on with life without skipping a beat. Thatโ€™s the way things go…โฃ
โฃ
However, our hearts are sensitive to those that have entered into the โ€œgrief clubโ€. We always want to be there for families who are enduring grief and for them to know, ๐—ช๐—˜ ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐— ๐—˜๐— ๐—•๐—˜๐—ฅ. โฃ

We ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ their circumstance, we ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ their loved one, we ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ that itโ€™s ok to not be ok and we ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ to pray for them. โฃ

Today we delivered flowers to a family to show them, ๐—ช๐—˜ ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐— ๐—˜๐— ๐—•๐—˜๐—ฅ. It doesnโ€™t change their circumstances. It doesnโ€™t take away the grief…but maybe for a little while it provides a little bit of comfort knowing someone else is thinking and praying for their family during their difficult and emotional time. โฃ

Today we provided food to a family experiencing grief. โฃ
โฃ
Grief makes it feel impossible to get off the couch some days, much less face making dinner. โฃ
โฃ
Proving food is often a way we reach out to those experiencing grief with the hopes of it providing some type of comfort. โฃ
โฃ
It certainly doesnโ€™t take away the feelings of grief but hopefully the gesture shows we care about them and are praying for their hurting hearts.

Today, weโ€™re delivering a care package to our local pediatrician office, Chapin Pediatrics. โฃ
โฃ
During this time of COVID-19, fear and worry are trying take over. Itโ€™s been hectic and scary for everyone, especially those in the medical field. โฃ
โฃ
We want to remind the staff at Chapin Pediatrics of how much we appreciate their dedication to serving our community and providing care/treatment for our children. โฃ
โฃ
May these yummy snacks provide the perfect amount of energy when needed and use these books and encouragement cards to provide the hope and peace that is found in Jesus.โฃ
โฃ
Join us in prayer as we continue to lift up the staff at Chapin Pediatrics, as well as other medical staffs around the world.

  

Sharing this online resource so families can use part of their social distancing and quarantine time for COVID-19 to create a “TIME CAPSULE”.

Great way to capture the current times we are living in. A TIME CAPSULE PDF is available to download printable sheets for this family activity.
