I actually cried when I read this story sent in by Jennifer. What can I say? I tear up easily. I am so honored that God is using this site to bless people in so many ways. Plus, this story reminds me so much of MY STORY. I also didn’t grow up with sisters, but have gained three by marriage. I am so thankful for these sisters in my life now. Here’s Jennifer:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did not grow up with sisters, only one brother. When I married I gained two sisters and a sister in law. Score! My sister in law, her husband (my husband’s brother…confused yet?!?) and their three young children have lived in Central Asia as missionaries for the last seven years. We both have three children. She has one boy and two girls and we have three boys. When they left my oldest was in preschool. He is starting middle school this year. Sigh. They’ve been back to the states just a few times over those seven years.

We try to communicate as much as possible via skype. When we are able to talk guess what we discuss? Your recipes!! We love it. We talk about what we like, how we adapted it, who ate it and so on. Last fall, after several years of saving, my husband and I were able to visit them while they were working. Guess what she served? Heavenly Homemakers recipes! We had the best time sitting around her table, eating good food and visiting.

Living worlds apart is difficult to say the least, but Heavenly Homemakers has been a common bond. Few things in our daily lives, outside of our mutual love of the Lord, are similar, but almost daily one of us has a HH recipe on our table. It makes me smile. Thanks for all you do and your daily encouragement!

In Him,

Jennifer

PS-While in Central Asia with them she made your Breakfast Cake, but added fresh pumpkin and white chocolate chips. It was a winner!
