My dear friends,
I just found out a good friend of mine in South Africa
just lost her home to a fire.
Many of you know sweet Kelly-Anne
and on her blog this morning was a post about her home burning to the ground.
Thankfully she and her family are safe,
but oh, what heartbreaking news!

Maybe you could pop over and offer some encouragement
as I know she and her family would appreciate it.
