When I left the States to student teach in South Korea, my sweet sisters got together and gave me a wonderful gift.  They gave me a photo album filled with tons of memories from our lives and lots of old pictures and some recent ones.  It was such a sweet way to share our memories together ... to laugh and cry ... I cherish the memories I have with my wonderful family, from the ones with the grandparents to cousins to aunts and uncles to my siblings to my parents and now my husband!  I am so very blessed.  I am so extremely thankful for the wonderful family God gave me!! 

Here's a picture and one of the many funny things written in the photo album:

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started.

But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep.
