I have to share with you the story of an incredible gift given to us by our brother-in-law Kerry and many others. While we were at the lake a couple months ago Kerry and Melissa (Dusty's sister) called us up to their room to give us something. It was an envelope that contained a rather large amount of money. We were of course shocked and wondered what was going on? That is when they told us it was a donation to help us bring our baby home. Tears began to flow (I am crying again while writing this) as Kerry explained that he has been cutting hair (yes, he's awesome)on Fridays at his work for donations for our adoption. He had been doing this for a few months and even has a few regulars! We were, and still are, just in shock at this gift of time, talent, love, and sacrifice. What an example of God's love and provision this has shown us. People who have never met us are helping bring a child into our family from across the world. There are no words to thank you enough - may your gifts and blessings be returned 10 fold!
To the Middleton family - Kerry, Melissa, Max, Mason, Kinley, and soon to be sweet baby Kolt, We love you guys dearly and cannot thank you enough for this precious gift. All who meet you know that you are a family of "doers". You actually hit the pavement when needed (be it stranger or family) and truly look out for others. What a gift for our children to know how much they are desired and loved by their entire family.
Ephesians 1:16
"I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers."
To Newell-Rubbermaid, Thank you so much for your part in helping us bring a child into our family through the miracle of adoption. By allowing Kerry just a few hours on Friday you are giving us an incredible gift!
To those of you who trust Kerry to cut your hair - we thank you!! Ha! Kerry has told us about you and we are humbled by your generosity. Specifically, Jackson, Joe, and Audrey Ford, Logan Clark, Chad Zimmerly, and Ken Taylor. We cannot wait to say thank you in person and bring our new little one up to meet you all!
Sincerely,
Dusty, Kathryn, Cole, and "baby" Nimmo
Matthew 10:42
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.
