The very least we can do...


Tonight we have the privilege of bringing our friends dinner. The father of this family is dying of cancer. Through all they have gone through, it has been amazing to experience how friends completely come together to help. One of our friends set up a meal schedule, and the family is receiving meals every other night for 5 months. It really is the least we can do - this man has given others so much of his time and encouragement as a soccer coach for many, many families. We hope that we can make each of their days just a tiny bit easier during this incredibly difficult time. So tonight our family will make pizzas, salad, fruit, and brownies and let them know that we are here for them. I'm sure we'll leave their house with tears in our eyes as we quietly drive away thinking about how precious time is, how blessed we are to have our health, and how important it is to take care of each other.
