    ❤ following your familys story due to your relationship with God!

    Family of 9 here. My husband’s wife passed away after a 6 year battle with cancer and I met him a month after she passed. We now have a beautiful life.
  • Pam here….I am a nurse, and I am surprise they are using outdated casting material for Noah’s brace….when a PT orthotic dept can make a custum plastic molded one so easily. That could be 2 pieces, or what they call a clamshell. It will Velcro together and could come off to clean it and for hime to bathe. Call some of your local Orthotic/Pt depts and Im sure they can come up with a much better solution!! Wishing him a much more comfortable summer!!
  • How awesome is God!! Love this! My husband and I remarried after a ten year divorce. We have three boys together. We love to hear other miracle stories, even when they are different.

    Hint to easily wrangle all of your Legos: Get a King size sheet, spread it out on the floor, and play with the Legos on the sheet. When playtime is over, gather the sheet by the corners, and put the sheet with the Legos tucked inside in a big plastic bin. This trick will save you hours and help tremendously when trying to vacuum or otherwise pick up the play room.
  • I realize it is actually 'Eleven Plus Evelyn! 👶 God bless each and every one of you.

    I love your story ❤ It reminds me of my family. My mom was divorced with four daughters (I'm one of) and my stepdad was widowed with a son and daughter. They met under miraculous circumstances, completely orchestrated by God, and they married four months later. My dad said it was because they had "the sames"--they felt the same about everything that mattered. Three years later, they had a son together, and then they adopted a son. We are all grown and married, and some of us are even grandparents now. We were "his, hers, ours, and theirs," but really, we believe we are all simply "ours." We are preparing for a huge family reunion in July, here in Alaska. We wouldn't change our story for anything. We are richer for all the joy and love we've experienced as a family. ❤ You have so much happiness ahead. God bless you all!

    Please don’t ever feel like you ever have to ask or say you’re humbled we already know your are. God blesses us as we need. I’m a single grandma of 5 and I have a 1 bedroom apartment and that’s exactly what I need. He gives according to our needs!
  • My husband and I lost our first spouses suddenly. We met online 5 years later. We talked on the phone for a couple of months. We didn’t talk over the Christmas holidays because we were busy with our families. After Christmas we met and dated for 9 weeks and then got married. That was 13 years ago. God’s plan brought us together. We understand the dynamics of the grief journey and how we moved through that process. God has always got a plan for our best life. We share our faith and family. We are grateful for God’s blessing in bringing us together. Praying God blesses your family.

  • Listen, the Lord has given you both the ability to story tell in such a natural down to earth way, Not boring at all, it was interesting from start to finish, the Lord has established your goings.
  • One of my daughters had scoliosis surgery with rods placed in her back as a teen. She’s had four children, which includes twins carried to full term! God is good.💜
  • My husband and I loved "yours mine and ours" both the old version and the 2005 version...as it was the first gift he bought me..we had both had lives out in sin..but had recently been saved...he had 2 children abandoned by their mother ages 2 & 5 ,I had a 6 month old when we met (my ex left as soon as I was pregnant) we met at church married 3 months later...had 2 children together and have raised our family of 5 and now have grandchildren...it's been a blessed 28 yrs now..God is so good!!!

    Awwww, Evelyn Joy is such a special name for your baby girl 🥰
  • @jodyj8528
    Praise Jesus for this beautiful testimony! I love that you can share it on this platform. Your love is palpable - you two are adorable together!
  • I can tell you putting Noah in the brace will straighten his back . My 13 yr old grandson grew up 4” in a summer and who’s mother has scoliosis and she wore a brace as a teenager. Now my grandson is out of the brace and is doing real well!🙏🏽🙌😇🕊️ We serve a mighty God. Love your story!! So glad the Lord chose to take your family’s grief and turn it to JOY 🫶🙋🏽‍♀️
