Pastor John;
If possible, I would like for you to share this with the families of the group that came to the Basin, and with you congregation.
I would like to start with saying thanks for all you all did to send tha "Kids" into our lives.The work they done to our house was greatly needed, and as much as the work they done, having them come into our lives, was a blessing from God. As you all should know they are some great Kids.I know they are young adults, but when you are 56, 12 to 20 is kids.
This old house needs lots of work. We moved out of a much better house than where we now live, but this is Betty's old home place. After her Mother and Father went on to be with our Lord, She inherited the old home place.We can sit on the porch since the work was done by the group and she gets tears in her eyes as we talk about the kids and what they done for us.
It was not just the Kids, but Pastor John, Amy, Al and Jean. They were great with the Kids. By the time they left our area, it was if we had know all of them for years.We may never meet again in this life, we hope to some day. If not,we will meet in Heaven.The Bible talks about you never know when you are in the presence of Angels. I can say that the last week of July, 2009, we had 18 here at our house.
Zack, when you got home and your parents ask about your trip, I would love to have seen their faces when you started talking about the garden and brought out your eggs.
D.J. you were worried about not being able to do much with your knee injury.We love and respect all of you that were here.
Sara, I love the spirit that you have. Never change.
Philip, on the table you wrote that you hope we think of you all every time we go on the porch. After what you all done for us, and spending time with you all, you will never be forgotten.
Jake you were always thinking and planning on how to do a job.
Danielle, when I look at the house I can see you laying on top of the house,reaching under to paint the eaves, in the rain. Wonder what your parents would say to that.
Katlynn and Stephanie, every time I see the baby chickens in the yard I look to see if you are after them. I am sorry that I did not catch them for you to hold.
Jessie will never eat another yellow watermelon without thinking of you.
Charlene and Dominique you two arrivied on Monday shy and quite, like caterpillar in a cacoon. The last time we say you, you were two beautiful butterflies.
Cristina you were always smiling. When you get to college, remember you have another family in McCaysville.
Anna, last but not least. What was that favorite word, awesome? That you are alonge with all the group that was here.
We let Betty read the poems at Horseshoe Bend Park that night because Jaclyn and I did not think we could get through them. After we left you all, Jaclyn said that she had things to say but was afaid she would start to cry.We want all of you to know you are always welcome at our house. Pastor John will have our address and e-mail if you ever want to contact us. Pastor you are welcome to give it to anyone that ask.
Just a few hours after you all left for home we had an earthquake in Ducktown. It was a 3.2 and the center was close to the camp where you stayed. I said it was God filling in the void caused by you leaving the area.
Words can never say thank you enough. You will always have a place in our hearts, and there is always a place for you when you are in the area.God bless you all, and walk with God in your hearts.
Until we meet again, God Bless.
The Binghams - Betty, Jaclyn, and Eddie
