The Legacy

Recently we received an incredible gift. With the addition of Eden and the new schedule we keep as parents we found it hard to be everywhere we needed to be with one car. In the process of searching for a car I talked to multiple church members to keep a look out for us. Two weeks ago I received a call from JoAnn Glock with a lead on a car, not just any car, her car (by way of her sister, Jean Miller). JoAnn and Jean decided that they were going to give us their Subaru Legacy wagon. I was beyond excited. I have always been partial to subarus but never had the opportunity to own one. And you couldn't beat the price.

This week I have been thinking about the name on the back of the car, Legacy. By passing the car on to us JoAnn and Jean have allowed us to share in their "legacy." When Jean handed me the car keys she talked about how I was part of the family now. I can't imagine a better legacy to be carrying on. These two women have been a part of the Woodward Park and Palm Ave church family for their entire lives and have the work they have done for this family is immeasurable. Every time I get behind the wheel I am reminded of their example and love for the Lord and his church. I am so grateful to carry on their "Legacy"

Andy, Ashley and Eden,
This brought tears to my eyes. So glad the car has a good home. We love you dearly. And remember, there was a price tacked on: loving rights on Eden for as long as possible.
JoAnn and Jean too

What a sweet story. Two sweeter women I do not know. As a child I remember getting hugs from Jean. They were the best!!
