Through a series of unfortunate events, our scheduled visitors had to cancel. One of those visitors was the family of Piper’s BFF from Wisconsin. Oh how my heart hurt thinking about the disappointment of my soulful 10 year old!
And then … a light bulb moment! I enlisted some help from the families of both Wynter and Piper’s WI BFF’s … and we secretly had the girls flown out for a visit!
My girls had NO IDEA whatsoever! And I could barely contain my excitement! I was at a conference all weekend and told them I’d have a surprise for them when I got home.
Once home and parked safely in the driveway, I had their friends climb into the trunk, and then called my girls out for their surprise.
This is what followed …
I’m not gonna lie … I truly thought there’d be nothing but hootin’ and hollerin’ … instead, it was a sweet reunion of hearts longing to be together again. And watching them together this week has made me one happy momma!
Have you heard? Beginning August 1, I’m hosting a Facebook study group on my e-book 31 days of faith. Each day in August, I’ll walk through the book with you in a more in-depth sort of way. My hope is to breathe encouragement into your day, to help you see Jesus, and to show you joy in the middle of a trial.
And … if that’s not enough fun … guess what? This weekend, July 28th and 29th, 31 days of faith will be available on Amazon for FREE! Free I say! So be sure to download it and tell all your friends too!
P.S. … don’t have a Kindle? No worries, download Amazon’s free Kindle reading app and you can begin reading on almost any device you own … including your computer! I’m all about the ease here folks!

What an amazing surprise! My family moved approx. 1,900 kms away from my home town when I was 13 and I felt exactly what your girls were when I saw the look on their faces just now … believe me when I say that’s a memory they will cherish forever.
Happy Tears……… This was such a sweet reunion<3 With all the technology out there people always say "oh just Facebook me" or "We can talk on Skype" which makes it better but nothing connects like the human touch! And one great momma who knew what to do for her babies<3
I felt the love…and know the sweet memories of this reunion will last a lifetime. You are a wonderful Mommy and your daughters are blessed by the love you give them and the lessons you teach them.
