Little did we know that the first time Kyle, the girls & I ever saw/met Bill would be the evening prior...
Being together in an ordinary hospital room, casually exchanging introductions, sharing a love for the same man...the same family...yet we didn't really "connect". Knowing Bill lived in South Dakota & was in town for a short visit & that Tom was tired, we didn't stay long that particular evening so that they could have time to visit & catch up. We had no expectation/anticipation of crossing paths again. When we left to go home, the talk was that Tom's dismissal would be either the next day (Wednesday) or the day following (Thursday) & although neither Kyle nor I had any sense of peace in regard to him being released, we trusted that God was in control...
Little did we know that we would be seeing Bill again on a much more personal level in the early Wednesday morning hours...
the same family... ♥
the same faith... ♥
the same God... ♥
It quickly turned into a "brotherhood" that has been beautiful for this wife to see develop.
Simply something only God could do...
Through heart-wrenching circumstances (literally)...
A circle we never could have dreamt...
Three men who love their wives, their God & one another.
Three men who clearly see God's hand moving, working, transforming.
Three men so deeply grateful for grace.
Kyle received a text from Bill mid-week saying he was in town & wanted to get together. Last night we were so very blessed to be able to do that very thing.
Sharing life's victory's...
life's struggles...
life's uncertainties...
Sharing the faithfulness of the same God...
With tears of thankfulness in my eyes... ♥
And joy in my heart... ♥
Until we all meet again... ♥
Just as lotions & fragrances give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
~Proverbs 27:9 (The Message)
