After the smoke and dust settled, the sun came out and life goes on for our family!
We have been extremely blessed by the number of phone calls and visits from neighbors and friends who wish to offer their help after the fire.
We are currently waiting on our insurance company to settle our claim with them. We hope to rebuild and replenish the damages suffered in the fire. We are reminded daily that it is all only "stuff" and life goes on happily with or without "stuff".
On Tuesday, March the 5th, we sang for Lincoln Christian School's chapel service. We had a wonderful time with them. The next Saturday was the barn fire. Today we received an amazing package of cards and letters from the children at LCS. Whose heart wouldn't be deeply touched and cheered by the following well-wishes?
What a heart!
This is so comforting, too.
The horse is safe from the fire! (smile)
There is nothing in the world like the body of Christ and the love of Jesus! We are humbled and delighted by this outpouring of love from God's precious little ones. These photos are only a small sampling of all that were sent to us.
(But Lucas NEVER smiles!)
Notice the drawing of Lucas with a frown!
We send our love to the students and faculty at Lincoln Christian School, and thank you for your love and encouragement!
Thank you for your prayers.
This Scripture is never old or tiresome to me.
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Sometimes God puts an interruption in our lives, an event or a tragedy, a loss or happening that insists upon our attention. I thank Him for those interruptions that move me to evaluate, ponder, inquire of Him, and re-prioritize or help me discern if I really am standing on the Rock, or if my foundation has been steadied on shifting sands. Glory be to the Rock of Ages! My strong tower! He changeth not.

Hi, Hitch family! I am also a member of a bluegrass band, so it was fun to come across your blog today! I am so sorry about your barn fire. I will be praying that everything works out smoothly, to God's glory. I noticed a picture of Havilah signing a song, and as I am also learning sign language, I was wondering when and how she learned to sign. I would love to hear about it!
Blessings,
Amy
