Angels in Sunset Heights


This week we moved from our little yellow house in Sunset Heights.
It has been really tender for me.

While we were expecting Caleb, our whole Sunset Heights ward had a special fast for us.
Our sweet friends and neighbors showered us with love and offered countless prayers for our family.

After Caleb was born, 3 year old Matthew came to me and said,
"Mom, did you know that Jesus peeks in our windows?"
I know He did, because He sent us angles.
We had angels deliver countless meals.
We had angels shovel our walks and mow our lawn.
We had angels decorate our garage to welcome us home from the hospital.
We had angels bring date night to us when we couldn't leave the house.
We had angles sit with Caleb so we could take the other boys on outings.
We had angels surprise us heartfelt gifts.
We had angels drive though snowstorms to get Caleb home from the hospital on his birthday.
We had angels arrange a birthday party and special dinner for Caleb.
We had over 100 angels come to a service party for Caleb
and create packages for other special needs children.
We had angels write him special poems and letters.
We had angels give us their hearts
and love us.

To our angels in Sunset Heights,
Jesus peeked in our windows,
and he sent us you.
Thank you for being a special part of our miracle.
We love you forever.

I know exactly how you feel about the Sunset Heights ward.It was sooo hard for us to move too. i remember we got our house the 1st of july here in Lehi but i told Sterling i didn't want to move until August cuz i just didn't want to move. I loved our friends and experiences we had there. Having all my children there sure brings back sweet memories. So i know how you are feeling........ but we LOVE where we are at and know this is the place we need to be. :-)

What a sweet post. Sounds like an Enoch ward, just like Bec's.

Oh, that's hard! It's so wonderful to have people you love so much... but it does make moving difficult!
Glad you're still close enough to your old ward to visit.

What a beautiful post, April. Matthew was very intuitive at the age of three, that's for sure. May you have as many angels surround you in your new home. One of them will be arriving shortly all the way from New Hampshire! Of course. I am prejudice about my sweet nieces and nephews coming on this trip. Love to you and family.
