Thankful for Sweet Inspirations

We have some other sweet friends who recently moved from Memphis to Greenville (in addition to the Greens).  We have also enjoyed seeing this family on our visits to Greenville this year.  Stephanie was one of Isabella's Jr. High small group leaders at church. Stephanie spent time every week away from her own family to pour into the lives of 6th graders.  Isabella really felt a connection with Stephanie, & we all grew to love her & her family as we have gotten to know them better.  I always say, when someone loves on your child, they love on the parent.  I have been loved by Stephanie by the way she loves Isabella.  I am so thankful for her investment in Isabella's life.  I am thankful she still is willing to take the time to spend with us when we come in town.  It means so much to Isabella & I know it is important to her.  I am also  thankful for the other women who have served Isabella in the Jr. High department as well during her 6th & 7th grade years.  Isabella loves going to small group!  I so appreciate the loving, welcoming atmosphere for Isabella to come discuss biblical principles & scripture on a weekly basis.
