From the Davis Family:
Christmas was amazing! Jen’s mom and sister were able to join them and spend Christmas with the family. It was delightful to have both parents and her sister in their new home for Christmas and to spend Christmas Eve with Nate’s family. Lots of Joy from the ashes!
The temporary house is perfect and we were abundantly blessed by many for Christmas. Our Christmas tree that was dropped off is beautiful and it was adorned even more with ornaments that came from friends. We made it simple by ordering Chinese food and enjoyed the day together.
We are now officially unpacked and are ready to start rebuilding our lives. We probably won’t find out anything about the house in Perkasie until January. For now, it still stands there (or until the roof caves in from the damage and drooping rafters).
The insurance company is working with us well in helping us with our temporary housing. They provided bedroom furniture for Sammy & Lilly. Other than that, the house came fully furnished. Plenty of room to spread out. And, we are in Doylestown, close to our church and both of our jobs.

Many blessings; some tiny, many large and others unexpected.
Thank you to everyone that has prayed for them, joined in helping with donations and continue to support them in so many ways.
We’ll keep you updated if any new prayer requests or needs come up. For now, they are settling in to their new place and sharing their story of Hope, Faithfulness and God’s provision as He restores from the ashes ... rejoicing a new beginning.
Happy New Year Everyone!
Psalm 103: Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
A $30 donation to CaringBridge powers a site like Nate & Jen's site for one month. Will you make a gift to help ensure that this site stays online for them and for you?
