Why we do what we do......

"The trouble with love is that it comes to an end.

I've got a feeling.. I'm gonna find you again. Just in a place where love can't die!"

As JSP moves into a new season to help the broken hearted I found myself asking "why do we do what we do? " The answer is simple ....we believe there is a place where we will find our loved ones again -where love can't die! Our passion comes from the desire to unveil the truth.
When a heart is shattered by the loss of a loved one ; only the love of Christ can bind it back together again. That process begins by showing others the power of His resurrection in our own lives. When we first believed ... He began to bind.. so today we can honestly love and encourage others to believe - this is not the end!

So you may be asking..."What do you do?" Good question! Beginning this fall we will be rolling out a new grief curriculum we brought back from California this summer. As far as we know its not being taught in our state! We were very impressed with the idea of "companioning the bereaved".. it teaches us to journey with others along their road of grief ; not to lead but to walk beside. Our new class will be held at our home with 12 new families. We are hoping to have a couple of fundraising events so we can accommodate the program. We will be looking for volunteers to help facilitate the kids program, donate dinners to feed the families and to help support our families in many other ways. We will also be looking for people who can help donate materials to help us pull off this program. Lumber for a pavilion and picnic tables are at the top of our wish list. We also are thinking of having a "pep-rally"... I would love to host a conference that offered a night of motivational music to inspire those who have broken hearts to fight the good fight. My hope would be to also have a couple of inspirational messages from others who have came through great trials... Other events in my dream is Movie night on the lawn and night trial hikes on the National Kennesaw Battlefield. I have lots to do so let me know if you are interested in helping... we would love to have you!!!-

With Much Love- The Peck's

P.S. Looking back, I am amazed that our lives have taken this turn. In the beginning our dreams never included God.. today I am honored and humbled to think that His always included us.... Thank you God - for creating a place where love can't die; a place where we will all be together again. The song below.. says it all!
