My whole family is.
Our {support} group spans across the United States.
Emails from Georgia.
Phone calls from Florida.
Packages from Nebraska.
Thumbs-up awards from co-workers.
Dinner with family.
Lunch with a friend.
...................................
I'm cared for.
We all are.
Friends {checking in}.
Friends {complimenting}.
Friends {cheering}.
Friends {caring}.
.....................................
How do you care for those around you?
When you enter their world via their front door or their blog site or their facebook page ... how do you care for them?
When you talk to them or write to them ... Who do they see? What do they hear? Do they want more of what you're offering?
.......................................
Saturday I was helping my friend Shannon shoot photos at a wedding.
My boys {all 3} were on their own.
But not for long.
Not for long because we are {cared for}.
We're supported.
We're not alone.
We're encouraged ... day after day after day.
.............................
Cared for by friends, family, neighbors & even strangers.
Cared for because God is prompting the hearts and minds of others to lift us up.
Cared for through goodness & blessings ... big and small.
..............................
Thank you Jenny & Justin, for {caring} more than you have to, for offering your home and your hearts, and for being there for all of us.
My boys {all 3} loved their Saturday evening {carving it up} with you! {thanks for the photos Jenny}
...........................
We all have an opportnity to {care} for those around us ...
Are you?
Not just caring because you have to ... but really {caring} because you want to?

WOW!! Great work on the pumpkins!!
God's love is BIG and it shows up just when you need it sometimes from the most unusual sources!!:)
Hi Lindsay - I so needed to read this post today - THANK YOU more than you'll ever know. Your post makes me realize that there are people out there who care and even if we don't see each other day in and day out, there's someone out there sending prayers and thinking good thoughts.
BTW - I loved how SERIOUS Ian looked while carving his pumpkin. Hope his pumpkin turned out spectacularly - as did your boys' pumpkins.
Love and hugs from the Knutsen Family!
