"Saying, Amen:
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving,
and honour, and power, and might ,
be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen."
I can not believe you took the time to do this. So very, very sweet. These blogs are interesting. Never having met you before yet praying for you yet, feeling like we know you. Even calling to see if you could host a missionary. Wanting very much to see all of your children walk after the Lord.
ReplyDeleteRejoicing with you especially as God expands your numbers with grandchildren.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and thank you for the encouragemnt.
What a wonderful idea for a Thanksgiving post! Blessings to you! Though we've never met, I'm sure we'll meet someday in heaven!Blessings to you!

We thank you for the times your children and other family members were able to come help us in the ministry. They are always a blessing!!! May you have a very wonderful day! We pray for you and love you all!!!

it's a pleasure of mine to be friends with such a wonderful family as yours. I have such many fond and wonderful memories of the days with Arthur (and others) while at CGN and with C.E.F. too! I still see a bit of hummer in the fact that when I first knew Arthur, we were not the best of friends, but the Lord placed us together for a summer and I have been blessed over and over because of that experience. Arthur became my best friend during that summer and throughout my high school years, and to this day I have never had a friend (besides the Lord and my wife) so close and wonderful as he. Thank you for your friendship and fellowship! I only wish we lived closer so we could renew in our fellowship again!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a neat idea! Thank you for taking the time to share...
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading all of your family's posts--though you might not know it, as I don't comment very often. I too think of your girls as friends. :) Hopefully we may meet each other some day! Is there any chance that you'd be coming to the home school convention in Jamestown this year?
Blessings to you all,
