No price is too high for a parent to pay to redeem his child. No energy is too great.  No effort too demanding. A parent will go to any length to find his or her own. So will God. Mark it down. God’s greatest creation is not the flung stars or the gorged canyons.  It’s his eternal plan to reach his children. Heaven and earth know no greater passion than God’s personal passion for you and your return!

Family...what would we do without them?

In all things with prayer and supplication place it before the Lord believing that His hand will be in it!

It may not turn out the way that we would like for it to but it will always come out to His glory when we invite Him into all areas of our life.

Yesterday we played cards with my parents....always fun! I was just thankful to be able to get safely out of our house and back again!! Other than Church we have been pretty much house bound since the beginning of February and most of January.

I long for some heat and no snow :) BUT I am thankful for a house with heat, food to eat and a 4 wheel drive truck that gets us out of our driveway...even if it does have 160,000 miles on it!

Stay warm (it is -11 here in our town) and be blessed.

Exodus 20:8 says, “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day to the Lord your God.”

Rest in His grace. Rest in His peace.

The Sabbath was made by God for man....

take one day a week to be grateful for His salvation and just rest.

Be Blessed!

“You will search for me,” God declared. “And when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me. I will let you find me” (Jeremiah 29:13).

He promises that if we seek Him we WILL find Him...how reassuring is that?

I am suppose to spend the night out of town at my daughters' Saturday night with this weather it could be a challenge getting there!

Stay warm and be blessed.

When people are refused access to Christ by those closest to him, the result is empty, hollow religion.  Ugly religion.

Hard to believe?  Yet it happens—even in the church. It happens when a church spends more time discussing the style of its sanctuary than it does the needs of the hungry. It happens when a church is known more for its stance on an issue than its reliance upon God. It happens when we think Jesus has more important things to do than to be bothered by such insignificant people.

Christ thought otherwise. Jesus felt sorry for the blind men and touched their eyes, and at once they could see.  In that moment, of all the people, it was the blind who really saw Jesus.

Blessed beyond measure!

We had a wonderful weekend! Saturday the girls and their families came to the house to celebrate Cait's and Kami's Birthdays. The weather was in the 50's (a virtual heat wave) Marla brought pizza and donuts from her 2 very favorite places in town.....Fat Cat Pizza and Donut World on 6th. It was a good time!

Sunday for the first time in two weeks we could get out of our driveway and to Church. It was a very special worship service!

 Later Sunday afternoon we went with Ashley and Chuck to watch Shelby play in a basketball game....sweet! The team they were playing had a little #12 player that reminded Ashley and I soooo much of Kristyl when she played ball!

It was a good week.....now we are in the midst of more snow and ice storms... today, Tuesday and Saturday....OMGoodness!Tuesday DH is having a procedure in Columbus at 8 am and I am suppose to spend the night with Kristyl and family on Saturday we will see what happens :(

Be blessed and stay warm.
