The Enyarts

This morning I began to think about the scriptures about Jesus before he went on the cross. How Jesus considered us the joy set before him when he endured the cross.

Today is a rainy day; the Enyarts drove our car to the beach to have our breakfast with Martin, Kim, and Julius. We bumped into Mike yesterday evening and knew he would not be there today. On the way to the beach, we saw Julius signing, holding his sign to ask for people to help. We saw Martin and Kim under the bridge walking to the beach to meet us. We were not sure if it was going to rain or not. As soon as Jared unloaded the stuff for our breakfast, it started to rain. We put the stuff back in the car and turned around to tell Martin, Kim, and Julius to meet us under the bridge. The bridge is usually where the people without a home hang out. I thought to myself, I will be eating at their house today. This is the first time I hung out under the bridge. I walk by it every time the Enyarts walk to the beach, but I never actually went under it and sat there. Julius saw us parking and ran to our car with a big smile to meet us. Chase ran to him. He said to Chase, “I got you two dogs.” He took a ball out of his pocket with a picture of two dogs inside it. He told Chase, “Don't forget to feed the dogs if they are hungry.” Chase was excited. I wish you could have seen Chase and Julius's faces when they saw each other. Breakfast went well. Julius showed us a new magic trick. Martin and Kim joined us. They are all just so excited and looking forward to this. We spoke to all of them earlier this week. They all remembered. Well… should I get it to what made me cry this morning…?

When we were leaving, Martin said to us, “Thanks for what you do for us.” I told him, “This is the least we can do.” He said, “I love you guys” and he says it again and again… The second time he said, “I love you guys” I finally said to him, “I love you, too.” I told him, “You don't know how much you guys give to my sons. You guys taught them to see everyone the same, and not treat anyone differently. They are going to grow up treating people with respect.” I looked over to Martin’s face… streams of tears were coming down. I couldn’t stop my tears.
