In honor of Maria's birthday today, we were invited with some family and close friends to celebrate! From decorating butterflies to cupcakes to writing messages on these helium balloons..it was bittersweet!!!! Each of the kids present took a balloon and wrote a message to Maria along with their impressive artwork, that is! We said a prayer together and then all at one time released the balloons. We watched, cried and smiled as they floated heavenward! We miss you Maria! And, we know that you were with us today even though you are up there in heaven. By the way Maria...you would've LOVED the cupcakes today--VERY YUMMY and they made my tongue blue!

Sweet Grace,
I've been carrying the Chapman family to our Father all day....and, look, He is answering those prayers, not only my prayers, but, so many within the Body of Christ raising up thanks and praise on behalf of sweetheart, Maria, and her precious family and friends. Thank you so much for showing us that God does hear and is answering our prayers.
Much love and big hugs to all of you!!
