I want to sincerely give my thanks and appreciation to my sister Jessica and her husband Jaime for hosting Thanksgiving at their house yesterday. The top picture is my grandmother and the next picture is my mom & grandmother.
.
A few years ago Jessica & Jaime bought a beautiful older estate that has the main house, a cute cottage, and an apartment. Shortly after, my grandmother started to need more medical care and my father passed-away. Mom was left alone with her own huge house. But not to worry because God knew exactly the plan that was up ahead.
.
Jessica heard the Lord's call and opened her home to my mom & grandmother. That was the most loving and unselfish thing that anyone has ever done for my mother. I am so humbled by Jessica's generosity compared to mine. Jessica and Jaime never ask for applause or recognition. They give when no-one is watching and they give everyday. They renovated the cottage and everyone is settled in. Mom just retired so she is enjoying time with 3 generations of beautiful ladies. Jessica is an amazing example of the true spirit of Christianity.

Happy Holidays!

ReplyDeleteYoli, it is so good to hear from you. I hope everything is going well. It sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My mother lives with us so I can relate to your family story. I am an only child, however, so I don't have the support of a sister. Don't ever underestimate your role. You can be the shoulder to lean on when needed. There are many times I wish I had a sibling who could just be there to just listen. Take care,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful example of family love! hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSuch a heart touching story.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute to your sister. May she be richly blessed for her generous heart.
