Friends of Shalom, Have you ever had a moment where you feel and see the kindness of God in a profound way? Most of life is a grind. But sometimes in small and big ways we get to experience God's kindness in a way we aren't soon to forget. This last July, Beth and I celebrated our 25th anniversary! Around this time some friends of ours who Placencia, Belize! own a home in Belize offered it to us as a free place to stay and we decided to take them up on the offer. They encouraged us to wait until March 2025 and so we began planning. A few weeks ago we flew out to Placencia, Belize for a 10 day trip! We had never done anything like this before nor for this length of time. Everyday we would share memories from 25 years together. Taking time away to reflect as well as enjoy the sunshine, beaches, food, and rich culture of Belize was a true gift! These past few weeks I've seen and felt the kindness of God in a profound way. Updates: We got to visit a small Anglican Church.....
