“In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert
There is no better way to describe it, we have been staying with some of the most beautiful, honest, raw, and generous people I have ever met. Although the four of us have never spent more than a couple hours together three years ago, they welcomed us into their home with arms stretched wide. They gave us a bed, food, a warm shower and open hearts. I am so thankful for the path the God has brought us all down individually to end up here today. There was never one drop of hesitation or question to anything we could need or want- Just pure, real generosity. And I feel overwhelming humbled to be a part of it. I am often a proud person. It is hard for me to accept gifts or kindness of any sort from anyone, because I feel I must earn it. Not only am I am constantly reminded of graciousness by my husband, but lately by people who I have spent so little time with. Kindness. Love. Acceptance. Grace. And I have done absolutely nothing to deserve it. It's been incredible. And all I can do is say THANK YOU! Thank you to those who have little to give but give EVERYTHING! Thank you for sharing your hearts and lives with us. Thank you for supporting our journey and our hearts. My heart is full of joy because of you! Just by being yourself my heart has learned to appreciate my Maker all that much more. Love you all and we appreciate you!

PJ, Shelby and Cole let us take their Cannon (Digital Camera) with us on the rest of our journey to capture every part of it! We were so stunned by the random act of kindness that we really couldn't speak. So as a part of the thank you, Jordan took some family photos! They are such an amazing family and are raising an incredible little man! Thank you Roberson's! Can't wait for our compound one day!
