Merry Christmas from The Etheridges



 (Click on Picture Above)


December 13, 2015

Water has been the main theme for the Etheridges these two-weeks-before-Christmas.  Floods of tears have been shed over losing our little man, Murphy this week.  And now, the flood waters from the lake are inching towards our back door from the heavy rains over the past 12 hours.

Peace on Earth.

And there is a peace within us right now as we have much to be grateful for....even in the midst of crisis and heartache.  And that's why we wanted to do a video Christmas card to YOU.....our family....our friends....who have journeyed with us throughout this year 2015.  Through the ups and the downs.....through new life...and yes, even death.

May you find the wonderful Peace of God living within your heart...and may you have a wonderfully blessed Christmas season.

Much love and gratefulness...
Chuck and Liz

Thank you for sharing, that was a real powerful Christmas Card.
We are sorry for the loss of Murphy, and we hope the spill way keeps the water from getting in the house.

Oh, Liz, bless you, my gifted friend! Your Christmas card is simply BEAUTIFUL! Lanny and I both enjoyed it. So poignant -- from personal to world-wide. Thank you for "the way you see life." You are so "interesting," so lovely, so "FUN" to be traveling with. You sharpen me.
Love and smiles and hugs and kisses,
Kitty

Dear and precious friend,

My heart aches for you and Chuck with the loss of Murphy. I hope knowing and remembering you will be with him in heaven - forever - helps just a little bit.

Thank you for your amazing video! I will keep you in my prayers about all that water, and we'll pray for you this evening in our Home Group.

God is good all the time!

I love you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I’m so sorry to hear about Murphy. I love your Christmas card. I hope you guys are drying out today. Love you!

Dear Murphy’s Mom –



Murphy has just changed addresses – physically. He will always reside in your heart! These pets come into our lives and make them better for having been here, and we grieve them when they leave us. My deepest sympathy to you and Chuck – but your role hasn’t changed, has it? You are still Murphy’s Mom! Watch for the rainbow!



Love and Merry Christmas,



Jeanne
