Spending Time With Friends

We have been having a great time spending time with friends lately! Our friends from the States were here for 3 weeks... It was so nice to see them again! :)  We also have been blessed to have the Inions back from Mexico! Gracie was *very* happy to see her little chum back. Ryan and Grant and Josiah have been running around and hanging from the trees like monkeys! :D Silly boys.... Thank you Jesus for good friends~

Let The Little Children Come~

Matthew 19:14: But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

James 1:27: Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Oh how precious children are! They are all such wonderful gifts from the Lord~

The other day, we had the opportunity to go and visit a Belizian family we know. They are a big family with 8 children living in a very small home. 5 of the children's mother just died four months ago, leaving them with their grandmother and aunts. Poor little children miss their mommy and probably do not even know their daddy. It was so nice to talk with them and play a little soccer.. :) Please be praying for these little special children and all the little fatherless children in the world! Jesus LOVES his little children! Every last one..

Soccer anyone?

"Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus love the little children of the world!"

Richly Blessed! Warning~ Lots of Pictures!

I am so grateful for my wonderful family! We have been having many us and downs but the Lord is keeping us close. :)  The Lord is so good to us.. He has been teaching me many things lately. One of them is being joyful even when in pain or when discouraged. That can be a *very* hard one to over come! But not when the Lord is there to lean on. I am so overwhelmed by the love of the Lord and to know that He is always there. He is the Gentle Shepherd!

Daily Happenings~

This is just a post on everyday random things. Everybody seems to be doing pretty well here. Mandy is still very tired.. We are praying that the Lord will give us discernment on which tests to have done. Please keep praying for her!
The weather has been cooler lately which has been very nice... It was actually slightly cold this morning!  Also, it seems as if the bugs went on a vacation for now! Yay! They can be *very* bothersome at times. Now we just need to start praying for some SNOW! :)

The Lord has been so good to us! What an amazing Master we serve...
