We've had some requests for pictures of the house we're staying in. Those will be coming next. But, first...here's a bit about the triangle of families that is making it possible for us to be here this summer.
This is the family from Alabama that is renting our house in Sacramento. The mom and her 3 daughters needed a furnished home for seven weeks the summer so that they could spend time with her father who lives in Rio Linda and is dying of cancer. They arrived in Sacramento the very same day that we left. It felt great to provide this family with a kid-friendly home for the summer and as I cleaned and organized the house, I thought of them often and tried hard to create a place of respite for them.
And this is the family whose furnished house we are renting in Kensington, MD this summer. They are a retired couple who are spending the summer in Sri Lanka, visiting relatives. (I didn't have a photo of them so I took a picture of a picture that's hanging in the basement).
Some might say that we were "lucky" to find such great matches on craigslist. My friend Rose says it was a "modern day miracle." I'm with Rose.

It is truly a miracle that the Lord provided for all three families so quickly and exactly how you all needed. It is great to see faces behind the story! We will be praying for all three families this summer! Miss you guys!!
