Bald9eagle - been praying for all of you since I heard yesterday evening. We lost a newborn daughter who was my son's twin 4 springs ago. When I delivered her eulogy I spoke of the spring woods, in fact here is what I delivered
"One of my loves is spring turkey hunting. There is just something about a spring morning as the Earth comes alive. That transition from dark to dawn, from cool to warm, from whippoorwills and owls to cardinals and wood thrushes and the anticipation of that booming gobble all while soaking up God's glory is just the best. I'll never forget Christian's spring morning with us as the sun came up and shone into Kelley's room. The few mornings I got out turkey hunting this spring, Christian was alive with me when the sun came up." I carry a laminated photo of my wife with our 2 kids right after birth in my turkey sling. She's with me on every hunt.
I hope the peace of the Lord wraps your family and gives you a hedge of protection in these difficult times. Please know that my family will be praying for you.
