The Family of God - Peabody, KS

The Family of God includes everyone who believes in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This is what makes Kevin's trip to Haiti (2 posts ago) so meaningful as he connected with our family of God in Haiti. It's what makes my trip to Nebraska so special - friends that live far apart can reconnect quickly because God is at the center.

The Family of God feels really special when it includes your immediate family. Kevin and I are so blessed to have had 4 sets of grandparents who all believed in God and shared their faith with their children and grandchildren. One of those special people, went to be with the Lord just a few days after we returned from Haiti and Nebraska. Kevin's grandpa Stucky, pictured here with our kids about 11 months ago, went to be with the Lord in late June. While we were thankful that he was no longer suffering, his godly presence and wisdom will be greatly missed.

Isabelle interviewing Grandpa last year for her school history assignment. What a special memory she will always have of her great-grandpa.

At Grandpa's visitation, there were so many amazing testimonies of how David Stucky impacted every person around him. He let every person know how much God loved them. His favorite verse and the one he shared with everyone was John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." His words, his actions, and his presence so reflected God. He was a blessing!Isabelle with Great-Grandma at the funeral

A legacy of faith is left for us to model. We are so grateful to have known Grandpa and that God allowed us to be apart of his earthly family. We look forward to the day when we will be together again....The Family of God!
