A Home Is A House Full Of Love

Mel left this morning to fly out to Orlando to meet Jeremy and Esther. They will be flying out from Orlando this evening for Brazil. Mel will drive their van back to NC. Here are a few prayer requests. • Mel’s safety in travel to FL and back • Jeremy and Esther’s safety to Brazil • Jeremy and Esther have asked specifically that everyone pray that the kids will sleep through the night on the flight. They feel this will make a much easier transition when they land in Brazil to go through customs, especially if they don’t have to deal with cranky kids. • Pray for ease in getting through customs. They have ten 70lb. boxes and about eight carry ons, three children, and two strollers. Pray that it will not take long to get through customs, that they will not open many boxes and that they can catch their next flight on time. It leaves within two hours. • Pray for continued health needs for Esther and Allie. Both are doing better, however, Allie did have one of her fevers about a...

It has been a hard day. Many tears have been shed today - tears of sadness and joy. It is amazing that you can be sad and happy at the same time.  Final goodbyes were said to son, daughter in law, and grand children as they finished packing their van to head out of state.  Their first stop, to say good bye to her folks.  Next stop, Orlando Florida to fly out to Brazil on Wednesday.     Brazil for Christ The Lord has answered so many prayers over the years.   All of our children have been prayed for from the womb, that God would take them and use them for His service.  Our children were given to the Lord for His service and we are thrilled that God has answered!

Exodus 31:17. . . for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,  and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. What a blessing to know that on the 7th day of the week we can be rested and refreshed.  I praise God for the privilege of meeting with fellow believers and be refreshed through His Word every Sunday.  Our guest speaker shared the following with us in our morning service today.   Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Paul had a right attitude towards himself - His Christian life was not one of self love (which is natural), but was one of self denial (which is supernatural) Paul had a right attitude toward his mission - His mission was to finish his course and to finish it with joy.
