What a wonderful story. Reminds me of the song “Thank you.”

What an encouragement to those who are still caught up in that life and those who would reach out and help.

Thanks for sharing.

Suzie, you’re an amazing woman. I admire you so! Never doubt that God is using you His purpose, especially in the lives of youth.

I am so grateful you went to her him speak and that it was in your giving that you received.

BLESS YOU and bless him for sharing his story - one that needs to be heard by all generations.

Hi Ginger, Thanks for stopping by BBR. Hey D, it was nice to see you and Sarah on Sunday. : ) And to all of you who visit this blog, I hope that D’s story is evidence of what God can do. . .

Thank me? Do you know how much you have blessed Sarah and me? Forget the fact that we wouldn’t be married with the three most beautiful kids in the world had it not been for “Mama Suzie” telling me how awesome this girl named Sarah was. Living with you and Richard showed me how to love unconditionally, to discipline my kids because I love them, not punish them because I’m angry and how to have a peaceful home (definitely not quiet with three kids under five years old, but there is peace). I know somebody else already said this but you only get out what you put in and all I can say is it’s about time! We love you guys so much!

I wish you could meet D and his family. He is such a good man. His daughter, Abi (named for a Father’s love) is delightful. Little Caleb and Jaxon are sweet boys, and Sarah. . . she’s a gift. Darrin will always be like a son to us, and he has given us far more than we have ever given him. He’s a joy. : )

Darin’s story, your sacrificial and compassionate decision and most of all God’s work in Darin’s life and how He used Darin to bless and inspire your discouraged heart - all touch my own heart this busy Saturday morning.

Never, never, never in all of our lives will we ever be able to fathom the mercies of our God.

Praise and glory to His name, forever and ever, amen.
