I used to think I needed to go to the "ends of the earth" looking for the hungry that need meat, the thirsty who need drink, the strangers who need taken in, and naked who need clothing. However, I have come to realize they are in my own household… Click on the title of this story to read the rest.

In Memory of Kate 1/5/00-2/5/11
As you have probably heard, Katie is now at rest in the hollow of His hand. We are very thankful that the end of her life was so peaceful and that God gave us the time to prepare our hearts, to talk with each other and to comfort her. She bore much pain and God used that to soften our hearts. He was glorified in her weakness. We thank all of you for your love & commitment to us throughout her life and that we never had to be alone.
Love, The John Hicks Family

i always wondered what it felt like to be you with her as your sister. she has been a gift and a blessing in disguise. i remember holding her during a seizure and feeling like i was going to cry because i couldnt stand to see her in pain. its amazing to me that you and your family have been able to have faith in God's purpose for her life and not be bitter. in the slideshow i kept thinking, she was so loved, without your parents knowing Jesus, they wouldnt have been able to bear it. i dont know how other families would have looked after her so well and treated her just like any other family member. i think my kids are needy sometimes and then i think of Kate. It helps me be a little more patient with them. she was a sweet beautiful little girl. and i was touched through her life.
