A SPECIAL THANKS!

Psalm 103:21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

THANK YOU DONALD AND DONNA,

FOR ANSWERING GOD'S CALL!

I know we haven't been there long, but we want to thank you for doing God's work.

We can see His hand in your lives and in your ministry.

Congratulations, SIX years here already, and hopefully MANY, MANY MORE!

Thank you for sharing God's love! We could definitely feel it when we first came there, that is why we were led so quickly to become members there, without trying anywhere else first. God bless each of you, and thanks.

Love, respect and prayers, Norman and Patty

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own;

A place to find serenity,

A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea,

But all these things I'm finding

Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair,

But let me be what I know best,

I'll keep you in my prayers.

; ( we didn't make it to church today! Norman was awake most of the night with an upset stomach! (or as Nathan would call it, bubbly guts) So, we didn't want to risk the chance of spreading it in case it was a stomach virus, so we stayed in.

After 40 years, if one of us is having problems sleeping, both of us are AWAKE! We surely miss being there and had gave towards 'the gift' for our precious minister and his family. Just we couldn't be there to help celebrate. Sorry! GOD BLESS!

===============

Norman, Leisa, Nathan and Abigail did come up today and had lunch with us. I fixed a beef roast, with potatoes, onions and gravy, and green beans (made my way with diced onions and bacon grease) and fresh rolls. We also had cupcakes and a fruit salad for dessert, but nothing fancy. We enjoy any and all of the kids and grand kids that do come. Usually it's only Norman and his family, the others don't come very often. One family is usually in Roanoke with their church, and we understand that... and the other son, well, your guess is as good as mine, but he does come now and then. Anyway, we LOVE ALL OF THEM, AND THEIR FAMILIES VERY, VERY MUCH! THANK YOU GOD FOR SUCH LOVING SONS, DAUGHTER-N-LAWS, AND GRANDCHILDREN, ALL OF THEM ARE PRECIOUS.

------------------------

back down to the two of us now, and Homer and Missy (our dog and cat) : - }

and we are both worn out, we're to old to be awake and tossing and turning all night, makes you really feel OLD!... but thankfully Norman's tummy is feeling some better... ugg, I hate that feeling! don't you? did it rain hard enough for you earlier?

--------------------------
