A righteous person cares for the life of his animal,
but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel.-Proverbs 12:10
Making the decision to move a family to another country is stressful. We have thought through the loss of our Ohio ministry, the sale of our house, saying goodbye to our family and friends. We have prepared our kids for countless losses both big and small. Yet, no matter how many contingencies we have thought through there have been many significant surprises. One event that recently took us by surprise was that our beloved family pet, Dioghi was diagnosed with doggy cancer.
Today we said goodbye to Dioghi.
We are confident that the next six weeks (our final six weeks before our move) of our life will provide us with many emotional tripwires. We humbly ask for your prayers as our family grieves the death of our dog and as we say our final goodbyes to our family and friends.
God Bless,
The Downings
