On Saturday, March 6th 2010, the ladies of Calvary Baptist Church of Connersville, IN threw me an amazing shower.  I was so blessed.  So many women attended and brought us some wonderful goodies for our future little one.  Michelle Reynolds, Heather Wright, Jane Mullins coordinated and took care of all the major logistics from food, to games, to helping me keep track of all the goodies.  I was so blessed not only by the generosity of so many people but by their presence.  Having just moved to Indiana in September 2009 and leaving all that was familiar, I was overcome with emotion that so many people would care for me and my family after only knowing us for about 6 months. Words cannot express my gratitude.

We were also blessed that some of our family could come to the shower as well.  I know it was quite a journey but we were so glad to see them.  Micah’s mom, Jeanne Larkins (Mimi) and sister Sarah Mathis (Aunt Sarah) came up on Friday the 5th and stayed with us thru Sunday AM Service before they traveled back to MO.  It was great to visit, eat lots of food, play board games and just enjoy their company. Also, Micah’s Dad, Keith Mathis (Gramps) and Step-Mom, Wanda Mathis (Grammy) came for the shower.  They had a quick trip of coming and leaving on the same day, but we were also really glad to see them and visit even if it was for a short time.

This day was a wonderful day!  It was a great reminder of the importance of family…both blood relatives and our family in Christ.  I am so grateful that thru the loving grace of our Lord we become family.  No matter where I am, if I am with God’s people, I am with my family.

Here are a few pics from the day to enjoy.  It was beautiful.  Thank you to everyone!
