It was another tough one. Whew! No one really slept last night. But we were all up early this morning for stockshow. And that didn't go well. We just were not on our A game. The stress really showed through. Maybe we shouldn't have gone, but the Smith's are not quitters. Another Jeff Smith lesson to his children. (I'm more of a quitter if I get too uncomfortable)
The hardest part of our day was seeing everyone. We cried 100 times. But through all of our tears we saw God's love for us being shared through all of you. It wiped us out but we were awed and humbled and blessed by it. Tough.
Too many blessings to list today. Here are some highlights.
Thanks to all my family for coming to the stockshow. It meant the world to me and Jeff. Just being there calms us. I love you: Mom and Daddy, George, Paige, Carley, Blake and Caiden, Sally, Bentley, Abbi and Will, Katie and Ben and our extended family Jen and Marleigh. Thanks for being there!
Special thanks to Joli, Gracie's bball coach. We won our games and afterwards she led the team in prayer and prayed for Jeff and our family and Gracie. Even though Gracie lost her mojo and the whole team cried, it made Gracie feel stronger to know how many people love her and support her.
And a shout out to Jeff's friend Dean. Thanks for coming by today to go look at wheat pasture with Jeff. He loved seeing you and needed the distraction.
I know the next couple of days will continue to be tough. I hate knowing that this will be our new normal. But it won't feel like this forever. We are holding each other close and feeling all the love. We're okay today. And we promise to keep you posted.
Holding on,
Jeff and Leta
