This past Sunday morning I was given the task of preaching to the graduating seniors at church. Even though Taylor was one of them, I knew I’d be able to keep my composure because I was focused on my lesson. I was a little worried about Lea though. I wanted to be able to sit with her, but couldn’t. Thankfully God placed her sweet friend Angie right next to her this past Sunday.
When I finished preaching and went and sat back down I noticed both Lea and Angie were a little teary. I was a little surprised to see Angie teary since both her kids had already graduated. After services were over I put my arm around her and asked her, “Were you a little teary?” She said, “Yes, I was crying with Lea.”
I thanked God today that Lea has friends that remind me of Jesus, and I asked the Lord to please bless me with a heart like Angie’s.
I am a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. My wife Lea and I have been married for 22 years. We are doing our best to raise our 4 boys, who are all growing up way too fast.
Oh, sweet Miss Angie. I think that woman must hold a special place in the heart of every woman in this little town!! We are so blessed.
Hey! You even got me a little teary eyed. I guess just the thought of our babies leaving makes momma’s all sappy!
That is a sweet story. I love people like that.
Wonderful.
I’m glad she had a friend there, too!
please pass this ((((hugg)))) on to Lea, pleaseeeeeeee!
thank ya!
I even cried when I looked at your last couple of posts! I’ll be a basket case when mine are that age!
I cherish my friends that will cry with me….they are precious and few!
This is a happy/sad time for you all…I wish you the best!
Cool stuff! Love the pictures.
God bless all of you! Peace.
Great story! Lea is blessed by the very best kind of friend.
There is nothing like seeing your children growing up. I thought it would change my “worry level” but truth is it only raised it to a whole new level! Friends bring comfort which is definitely needed as the kids grow up. Thank God for family and friends. It appears that you have a great family.
By HIS Grace!

I cried!
