I am 48 today.....

Well today is my birthday, I am 48 yrs old. I am not feeling too good today, but I am so very blessed to be alive to celebrate a 48th year. Thank you Jesus for that blessing! In 1988, 18 years ago, this coming Fall I did not know if I would make it to this age or not because of some sicknesses that I had, I had a lot of wonderful people praying for me and I had to undergo some biopsies, to find that instead of Lymphfoma (spelled wrong, but it is cancer of the lymph nodes) that I had Sarcoidosis, this was such a blessing, (Thank you God for your healing to my body) not only have I lived to raise my 2 children but I am raising my 2 little grandsons. I am so thankful to God for the blessings that he has given me in my 48 years. I have a wonderful church, that my husband pastors, they are very good to me and they gave me a very nice B'day gift, I have a wonderful family whom I love and appreciate very much. I have recieved several gifts from family and friends, and some of the most beautiful cards that I have ever seen, and I have recieved Happy Birthday calls all morning, there is only one email that I am still looking for and that is from my son, he is out to sea right now and can't call me.......a special Thank You to all that have sent cards, called or gave me gifts, I love you all very much and appreciate all that you have done for me.

May God bless and keep you all safe.........

Praise God for the rain......

Bro. Jim ended up staying home from work last night to watch the fire....I was getting a little worried around 2:30 this morning, I got up and looked out and from my upstairs bedroom window, I could see the fire, it was right there, I couldn't go back to sleep, our house sits with the clift right behind it and the fire was almost there, I was afraid that the sparks would blow over on our roof, it was so windy. Then Praise the Lord, around 4:00 am it started to rain and it is still raining, isn't it wonderful how God sends just what we need right when we need it. This is a bad time of year for forest fires. I will be glad when forest fire season is over.

May God bless and keep you all safe,

The Lamb.....

Think carefully about what you will be reading:

Mary had a little lamb, His fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The Lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school each day, T'wasn't even in the rule. It made the children laugh and play, To have a Lamb at school.

And then the rules all changed one day, Illegal it became; To bring the Lamb of God to school, Or even speak His Name! Every day got worse and worse, And days turned into years. Instead of hearing children laugh, We heard gun shots and tears. What must we do to stop the crime, That's in our schools today? Let's let the Lamb come back to school, And teach our kids to pray!
