Dearest
Sarah,
Happy
40th Birthday! It is hard to believe that it’s been almost 6
years since we moved from C-U community and our Stone Creek church
family. We miss you and your beautiful family dearly! We look
forward to when we can all see each other again. We would have lots of
stories to swap, no doubt!
Sarah,
you have been instrumental in our lives more than you know. It was your
friendship with Andy when you were all in grad school that influenced Andy’s
decision to become a born-again Christian. Through the years, you became
a great friend to Halima also. Halima will never forget all you did to
help as she transitioned into motherhood, and the sacrifice you all made as a
family to give Halima one more week at home with Anastasia before she returned
to work when Anastasia was 3 months old.
Sarah,
you embody what it means to be a joyful Christian and live a joyful
Christian. Not only do you weather life’s storms and challenges with
grace, but you make joyful moments and memories out of life’s everyday ordinary
situations. Your hospitality is undoubtedly a gift – you have blessed us
and so many others with extending yourselves, giving of yourselves, opening up
your home, always welcoming one more. We’ll never forget all the dinners and
game nights, the Easter and Thanksgiving celebration dinners, and the infamous
world-class Birthday parties – scavenger hunts, grocery store cart races, and
all!
These
are such treasured memories. We miss you dearly!
Our
prayer for you: “Lord, please continue to bless Sarah, Steve, and their
beautiful family. Please let this decade be the best ever for Sarah and
family. We pray for the opportunity to reunite with our friends again
someday. In Jesus name. Amen.”
We
love you, Sarah Brown Rutledge!
Andrew,
Halima, Anastasia, and Nadia Krugh
