Mark and Janet

Each week I am going to start highlighting a person (or people) that are special to me. This could take me a while. Anyway, today is Mark and Janet Hatcher. I have them on my heart right now because they just had their first grandbaby! I met them at church....Janet works at the church and Mark is her most precious man!

Janet does not meet a stranger! She is one of the nicest people ever! I can't even tell you in one post what kind of heart they have. Janet sends me a card every year to let me know that she remembers my first born. You have no idea what that has meant to me. I have cried every time. She sews clothes for a ministry called "Threads of Love." It is a ministry that makes clothes for premature babies that die. Shelby had one of those dresses!

When Morgan was one...she smocked her a dress! I am amazed at her skills. Mark is one of the most tender people you will ever meet. He loves his wife and they have been married for years. They are such a picture to me of Christ and the church.

When Morgan was in the hospital they came to see her with their most sassy daughter, Molly. Molly was in my singles class back in the day and I just love her...I have seen the Lord do so much in her life. They came and brought Morgan a book as soon as they heard she was in the hospital. Then they stuffed 20 dollars in my hand and ran out the door. They wanted me to be able to eat while I was there. The thing that I love the most about them is that they are simple people. They are the most giving people and they are so modest. I truly want to be more like Jesus because of their witness to me. There are so many other things that they could do with their time and they use it to reach out to others and show the love of Christ. I don't even have time to list all of the areas of ministry that they are involved in...but I praise God for their lives here and how He uses them!

If there is a verse that reminds me of them it would be this one:
Matthew 5:5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
