A Special Visitor

We are so thankful for all the men and women who serve our country through one of the military's branches of service. Since we live in a city near an army base, we have had the opportunity to minister with many army members. It has been an honor and a joy to meet each one of these individuals, especially some of the college-aged guys we've met through the college ministry at our church. Among these guys is a special young man, Ben. We only knew Ben for a short time before he was given orders to go to North Carolina, but during that time we grew quite attached to him. He is, quite possibly, the NICEST, most polite person I have ever met!

Well, Ben had a little time off and headed to California, where his family lives.  He and his dad then traveled by car all the way back to North Carolina this past week, but not without making a stop here to visit his "Georgia Family." We had a great time catching up and goofing off. We are so happy he thought of us and made it a priority to visit us!
Ben, you have blessed our family in so many ways!! You are such an amazing person, and we are so thankful God has allowed you to become a part of our lives!
