We arrived home this afternoon to a big sign on the garage door (Thank you Kerrs and Knapps!), a clean and organized house (Thank you Grandma Snoeyink and Aunt Karen!), a stocked fridge, freezer and cupboards--with balloons on display next to dishes of candy and snacks and delicious baked goods...and even a new family picture in a frame (Thank you for all that stuff DeLanos, Roelofs and Wildes!), a repaired stove (Thank you, Grandpa Snoeyink!) that could heat up a yummy meal (Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Prominski!). We arrived here riding wave after wave of prayers offered on our behalf (Thank you all!). We are tired but thrilled.
One of the many unexpected joys of this experience has been the affirmation that we are surrounded by loving people who are willing to pray for us and invest in our lives. The body of Christ is an amazing thing. At the risk of sounding greedy, will you please continue praying for us when you think of us? Because even though today marks the end of one part of the journey, it is really a beginning. As far as Josie knows, after all, this whole thing is just now getting started.

Two happy Grandmas!
Welcome home sweet Snoeyink family! Will indeed be praying you through these months and weeks of adjustment. We delighted in the body of Christ too. They are a great gift. Bless you as you survive jet lag-it's a killer, and introduce Josie to her forever life.
