Soul touching truth.

In February 2010 Steve had just retired a month prior so we were broke in that ‘let’s see how we can budget now with just a retirement check’ way. I said to him, “No flowers or dinner out this year so we can save a few bucks”. He agreed. And a few hours later he showed up with a dozen roses and this magnet, which reminded him so much of me, he just couldn’t resist. The roses 🌹 just called to him. Sweet guy. Also, pot calling the kettle. 🤣😂❤️ Happy Valentines Day in Heaven to my Magic Man.
And to all of you!

In February 2014, months before this physical place of LZ-Grace was found, we were working on a dream and praying. A lot. This wonderful memory popped up tonight and is a must share. 🙏🇺🇸🙏 Sheri Buki here... Today while my Mother was en route to the freezing Midwest, the dogs and I received a beautiful package in the mail. Selah inspected and approved each and every item as I humbly read the following note: "Hello Lynn, A few Green Berets are extending a Thank You for all you do. De Opresso Liber." I cried. She cried. Because we're girls. But also, because of this:
De Opresso Liber... which means essentially, To Liberate From Oppression. Actually, for Latin buffs the translation isn't quite perfect. The point is, that's why we do this- any of it. It's a lot of work, a lot of responsibility, but we each do our part. And if we at LZ-Grace can be a part of anything, if we are able to do something, then God let it be this- that we can build a place where warriors rest their head and renew their strength. The battles may be many and the miles long before they sleep. But we will always be here, to bind up the brokenhearted, to comfort those who mourn, to proclaim liberty to the captive and with honor, to help the oppressed be free.
Thank you Green Berets, for the gift, but most importantly for reminding us what we're all here for.
Love,
Sheri

We will either find a way... or we will make one.
I promise.

I do not want to know what you do for a living or how many letters you have after your name... I want to know what you ache for,
what you dream of,
what you reach for
what you think about
when there is nobody and nothing
left to impress
but the soft air between human souls.
It is there... in that sacred space
We live on purpose.
One of the most calming & powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world:
Stand up and show your soul.
