heavy hearts

Normally we stick to the lighter side of life on our blog; this week, however, our hearts our heavy. We have lost Alan's sister, Carolyn, our dear Aunt CC.

Since the grown-ups in this house are struggling to find the right words for the moment, I'll share with you two of the many little Kruglet prayers that have been echoing around here the last few days.

"Dear Jesus,
Thank you that there is a heaven so we all have someplace to go after we leave the world. Amen." ~ AJK

"Dear Jesus,
Please be with Aunt CC in heaven so that she doesn't get lonely because we are not there yet. Amen." ~NCK

We praise God in this storm. Blessed be His name.

Our deepest sympathy is with you and your entire family. Please know that your extended family in Illinois and at Cross lift you up in prayer. We will be there Monday for you, but if you need anything in the interim, please call.

God be with you,

Oh, Lisa, I could not help but cry a bit...both of their prayers are just the sweetest, most innocent things I could ever dream of
