| Happy Anniversary! |
As many already know, our dear Moma had a light stroke earlier this month. This has changed life for them quite a bit. We are counting our blessings that it wasn't worse... however, that doesn't take the need away for all of our prayers for them. Today is their last service at their current pastorate and they are waiting on God for HIS will in their next step for the future!

Something a tad personal... but here's a few lines from a letter I wrote to them this week!
"Dearest Daddy and Moma, We love you more than life itself and this is SOOOOO
hard to see you having to face this mountain... but I keep hanging onto the
promise(s) that the Lord who has led you through all the dark valley's of your
lives together up til now, has NOT stopped workin!
Daddy, you and Moma have sought and
put God 1st in all things in your lives. Period. not for any gain, not
to "get a handle" on God...NO! you just have served Him faithfully all of
your lives. and when we DO this, HIS WORD PROMISES... that "all these
things WILL be added unto US" It doesn't say WHAT ALL THESE THINGS
are... but in my limited theology (humor me, Daddy) I have recently taken that
to be b/c our needs will NOT always be the same and God is bigger than ANY need
that we face! and so with that being said, I'm hangin my hat on that
promise for you all and have reminded the Lord since your praying through that God wanted you to "retire" several
months back that He not forsake you and that he'll CLEARLY lead you... and when
your hearts walk in His paths and continually SEEK after Him... YOU CAN'T MISS
HIS WILL... HE just won't let that happen! Do you find it funny that your
kid is "preachin to you"....? I guess I would just say it's
"reapin once again, what you have sown!" Like you said,
"Ya'll taught us how to pray so long ago... so now it's time to enjoy a tad of the
harvest!" I love you both so much!!! and am typing with tears
blinding my eyes...."
Today the girls and I are singing a song that I'm claiming for you, Moma and Daddy...
"His Strength is Perfect... when our strength is Gone" and adding just the chorus of the song, "If He carried the weight of the world on His shoulders... I know my brother/sister that He will carry you"
~Much Love from This Haus!~

Couldn't post a comment for some reason, Laura so will leave this comment up to you to post. I'll try to get it to post again... If I can't perhaps you can post it for me on you web. Was good to hear from you two girls and Lincoln. Guess Andrew was just overwhelmed. He will realize and call later.;-) Love to all of you, Moma
Dear Laura, It makes me happy to see these words of love from your heart to your parent's hearts. And yes, your mom and dad are special to many people besides their children. When I saw these two pictures of your parents, and I realized all that their faces represented, it reminded me that God is familiar with their faces also, and he is not going to forsake these faithful servants of his that have followed him down through the years of their lives. Why, he knows and loves them even better than any of us know or love them! Congratulations to a beautiful couple on 52 years of marriage! Love, Mom D
