My words are very few. My heart is breaking and my throat feels raw from swallowing tears.
I spent a day with Trisha in November. As we were Christmas shopping, I kept seeing her pull cash from an envelope. She explained it was her budget envelopes and she showed the whole concept to me. I was very inspired and began my own at the beginning of the year.
I have made an envelope in my folder labeled "Ben and Trisha." We will be taking it to Ohio, Lord willing, when we make the trip and will give it to them. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers, and I encourage you to make your own envelope and give sacrificially.
Brethren Charity Fundc/o Ben ReecePO Box 365Brookville, OH 45309Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether they
be afflicted, it is for our
consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which they
also suffer: or whether they
be comforted, it is for our
consolation and salvation. And our hope (For the Reese Family)
is stedfast, knowing that as they
are partakers of the sufferings, so shall they
be also of the consolation.2 Corinthians 1:3-7
