Jade & Timber

JADE & TIMBER
Jade & Timber’s home burnt down 2 months before Hurricane Florence Hit.  Their 4 bedroom home was leveled and their three animals in the home were taken too.  They lost absolutely everything.  Jade works as a waitress and is going to school to be able to work as a nurse.  Timber is 7 years old and super cute.  They hope to rebuild a home on the same property they lost their home and are praying that 2019 will bring good things for them.  They have been helped and supported by the local CPR and have some things that they need to survive, but we were able to shop for some things that Jade & Timber might want.  

We found Timber some glow in the dark jimmies and another fun outfit, some remote control cars and books.  We got some much needed laundry detergent for Jade and some foot scrubbing materials and socks for her, as well as a Walmart gas care.  Her Bible was burned in the fire, and she has been wanting one badly, so we got her a nice new Bible as well.  

When we met Jade & Timber, they were so glad to have us.  They were so grateful and expressed so much gratitude that people were thinking and praying for them.  They are excited to read their new bible together tonight for New Years.  They want to stay connected with us through Facebook so we can follow their journey as they try to rebuild.  Before we left them, we held hands and prayed with them.  As I offered a prayer for this family and prayed for blessing for 2019 I choked up with a love for this family.  Jade had said, “You don’t even know us and you are here doing all this for us.”  We don’t know Jade and Timber, but at the same time, we are brothers and sisters in Christ, and so we are connected to them with a Christlike love that we cannot describe.  It is an indescribable automatic love.  We wish them the best this new year.
