Fruition plus some..

As most of you know we lost one of the best friends we had this weekend, Mike Wallace. He tragically died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday. Mike was a VERY special guy. He had something about him that nobody could explain. A twinkle in his eye, and a smile that would light up the world! He was a shining star that was a joy to be around. My boys loved him dearly and are really feeling the loss of a friend. We have been talking about how blessed we were to know him. The conversation has been about how he would bonk them on the head with the water bottle or a Bible. How he held Jorja while Mommy had to go to the restroom. It was funny and I’ll never forget it! I had to use the restroom soooo bad so I asked Mike to hold my little jewel. When I got back he had that sparkly smile and told me she was fussy until he told her that he wasn’t afraid to go in and get Mommy! (Thanks for being a good girl Jorja!) I’m so happy I had him hold her!
With all the thoughts of Mike running through my mind, I was restless and unable to sleep. I finally dozed off for a blink and woke up on with a word screaming through my head! Fruition...fruition....strange! I had no idea what that word meant until I looked it up. WOW! This is what dictionary.com says it means;
fru•i•tion [froo-ish-uhn]
–noun 1. attainment of anything desired; realization; accomplishment: After years of hard work she finally brought her idea to full fruition.
2. enjoyment, as of something attained or realized.
3. state of bearing fruit.
—Synonyms 1. accomplishment, fulfillment, achievement, completion, perfection, result.

Us Scheffer’s have been through an unexplainable and long (to us) season. I believe a testing season. To remind you; it started in May 07 with Todd's severely broken/crushed ankle, to a surprise pregnancy (very celebrated though!) months of bed rest, abscess tooth / body infection, other crazy body issues (one included a miraculous healing), a move from Monroe to Snohomish (going from selling to renting again), and the loss of a very close and dear friend. In the last year and two months we have not faltered we continue to celebrate the Lord! We are so blessed. What the enemy intends for evil God uses for good! I think the word FUITION was a gift in the midst of a storm. See the pictures below to see some "fruition" in our life.

BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, HEALTHY SONS, GOOD FRIENDS, HOME TO LIVE IN! GOD IS GOOD!
