I'm SHOOK! to my core.
I'm going to start this post with a reminder and a warning:
Tell the people in your world that you love them every chance you get. There comes a day when you no longer have that opportunity.
This morning we got word that three beautiful souls were called home to be with their Lord and Savior.
We meet the Fritz family in the most stressful of weeks in a ministries year, in the most loving and fun way. Although Pastor at the time didn't find it too much fun. Dan, who passed a few years ago, was a God called missionary determined to fulfill his calling. He was husband to a lovely little spit fire named Khristy Fritz. She was definitely the lady from Proverbs 31, with some extra spice attached.
They have three wonderful, adventurous children who didn't always like being on the road, but they loved and honored their parents. Even when they had to flee a roadside trailer fire in the middle of the deputation journey.
Daniel, the oldest, is the true definition of Big Brother. Andrew is the strong, ornery scrapper.
Then there was Amber. Tough as nails, a perfect mix of both of her parents, with a pinch of each of her brothers. The past several years devoted to her son, Asher, who was born with many health challenges that they met head on with Khristy and everyone else in the family at their sides.
They all love God and they have all been on their own paths in that.
This morning the journey ended for Khristy Fritz, Amber Fritz, and young Asher as God brought them into his fold.
We didn't know Asher well. But he is a party of the family gone, now.
It's been a little over a year since Khristy and I chatted. But we never forgot to say "I love you in the Lord. And Love you, Sister." at the end of every call.
These two ladies will be greatly missed. They are mostly definitely loved.
