I was caught off guard when my 5-year-old looked up at me and said, “Dad, we are so rich, aren’t we?”
My mind immediately began to race — thinking of all the things we don’t have that the world might use to define “rich.” In that moment, I leaned down and asked her, “Why do you say that?”
Without hesitation, she said, “Because we have lots of food, we have so many clothes, and we have this house to live in!”
Her words stopped me. But those are just the basics,” I thought...but then God gently convicted my heart. My little girl was absolutely right — and I was so wrong.
She didn’t measure our lives by the standards of the world. She was simply grateful for what we had. In her gratitude, I was reminded of how rich we truly are.
Scripture echoes her wisdom:
“And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” — 1 Timothy 6:8
In that moment, God used a 5-year-old to teach me a profound lesson about contentment. Instead of focusing on what we had or didn’t have, my heart should be fixed on the Giver of every good thing. I have Jesus, what more do I need?
As Paul writes:
“Godliness with contentment is great gain.” — 1 Timothy 6:6
This week, I’m taking the time to write down the blessings I’ve been overlooking. I’m making a list of what I’m grateful for — not just the big things, but the “basics” that are truly treasures. I invite you to join me. Grab a pen and paper and begin listing the blessings around you.
When we pause to see clearly, we realize we are so very rich.
Be Encouraged,
Chad

I’ve often been told by a very wise man—my father—not to ask, “Is this good?” but instead, “Is this best?”
Over the years, I’ve come to understand the profound wisdom behind that question. It’s easy to justify decisions by labeling them as “good.” But if we stop there, we may fall short of the best God desires.
One of my favorite spiritually minded writers, Oswald Chambers, expressed this truth clearly:
“The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.”
There are countless “good” things constantly vying for our time, energy, and attention. But the life of faith doesn’t merely involve choosing between good and evil—it often requires choosing between what is good and what is best.
So how do we know what is best?

After almost three weeks in the hospital, I have never been so thankful to finally head home to our babies. We don’t have all the answers yet, and I still don’t have function in my right leg, but we are choosing to count every blessing—especially the gift of being together again. Your prayers have carried us through and mean the world to our family. ❤️

We have been completely overwhelmed by the love and support of family and friends during this difficult season. From watching the kids and taking them on adventures, to helping with baby Henry and lifting Erin up with encouragement—you have carried us in ways we can’t even put into words. We don’t know how to say thank you enough, but we are truly, deeply grateful. ❤️

A moment we never want to forget. 😭 Being away from our babies has been harder than we ever imagined. 💔 Our hearts ache to be together again.

Recovery is not fast or easy, but we are deeply thankful for every small step forward. 💕 It has completely broken my heart to watch my Erin walk through such pain, yet to see her lifting her voice in praise to the Lord in the midst of it has been nothing short of inspiring. Her kindness and gratefulness she demonstrates to those taking care of her is nothing short of Christ in her. She has been a light wherever she goes.
Yesterday, Erin was transferred to a new hospital where a team of doctors is working together to help her improve. The nurses have been so compassionate and have become like family to us.
We miss our babies more than words can say, and we are so grateful for each prayer, message, and act of kindness from those who have reached out during this time. Your love is carrying us. 🤍

I have so many mixed emotions as I share this.
Last night, Erin suffered a lengthy and severe seizure. Up to this point, Erins infection was getting better, but we found ourselves back in a place of heartache, uncertainty, and tears.
She is in the ICU, and the doctors are running scans and tests to determine the cause. Erin is extremely weak and spent hours only half conscious.
As her husband, it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced — to sit by her side and watch her struggle while being so helpless to ease her suffering. I love her more deeply than words can express, and I can’t even imagine life without my best friend. The hours have been long and heavy, and I know many hearts are aching to see her this way, along with mine. We hold on to faith that healing is coming, even in the midst of the unknown. Your prayers are felt and we are forever grateful.

We wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and support you have given on our behalf. It’s been a week since our miracle, Henry came into the world. He is doing well in the NICU and is our bundle of happiness. We had asked for prayer for recovery for Erin due to complications. Her labor was longer and more intense than previous births. She has been fighting through it and has been such a light and sweet testimony of grace to nurses, staff, and doctors alike. We are all moved by her kindness and gratefulness in the midst of pain.
Erin developed a severe UTI and kidney infection, which sent her into septic shock. She is currently still in the ICU as doctors continue to treat, diagnose, and search for answers. We would covet your prayers for this beautiful girl who is such a light in a dark world. We are holding onto God’s promises. -Chad
