Visiting a new friend

This is a picture of Madylanne and Linda and her beautiful children. The ladies from the Ladies Fellowship had the idea to visit her because Linda has had a really really rough season in her life. Thankful for Linda's sweet smile and trust in the Lord. Please pray for Linda and her family.

fast trip

Madylanne and I made a quick medical trip to our capital city last week. God arranged everything perfectly and we were able to get our appointment and medicine on the same day. We are grateful! Thank you for giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering and to the cooperative program through your local SBC church which makes it possible for us to have medical care!

I confess we stayed up late playing Nurtz and eating snack food. It was fun doing this with my big kid!

Basketball

Today the kids played a little basketball in the front yard. It was fun watching them enjoy each other's company! Sibling love is a gift from God. :)
