The Best Valentine

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son. That whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish; but have everlasting life.

What a wonderful promise! So glad He's mine... is He yours? If not then why not trust Him.

Friday Flashbacks




This is our sweet Allyson Grace, I think she was about 4 or 5 weeks old in this picture. Those were the days, care for a 20 month old and a new little one. She definitley kept us on our toes and let us know when she needed something. Waaaaaaa! Much different than her sister.

Today she is still completely different from her sis, but we love that difference!! She adds spunk to our life and definitley makes us laugh!

Check her out on my sidebar!

Spring Fever

While we have escaped most of the COLD & SNOWY weather in Virginia, we still are getting "Spring Fever" here in Texas. Yesterday, it was 61 and sunny so we took the kids to the coast. It was the farthest south we have ever been in Texas! Everyone had fun exploring the beach for shells and squishing the sand between our toes! Sure beats 2 feet of snow!


PRETTY PALM TREES



WARM WEATHER= BARE TOES



JUST US ENJOYING GALVESTON ISLAND

Lookie, lookie

I was in Target the other day and found something very useful for ministry:

Catholicism for Dummies.... what will they think of next? I think it will be a help to us to understand how the Catholic community thinks. Couldn't pass it up for a $1.



Also, I couldn't resist this candle on the clearance shelf! Do you see the title? "Home Again", I plan on saving this for my future home in Croatia where they are so cold to the Gospel. Hopefully our family will be able to help share the warmth of the Gospel to this needy land.

.....Pray for us!

New Adventures

With every "mission home" comes new adventures: new toys to play with, beds to sleep in,sights to see, kitchens to cook in. Everything is always new and always takes some getting used to...... especially... trying to figure out which way the shower knobs turn so that you don't scald yourself!!!

Here are just a few of our new adventures this week:

Give us a smile!
The horses and donkey behind us at the boarding stables.


The tiny kitchen to work in.... thank goodness for the one in the church!


New dolls to play with and books to read. (cars and blocks for Noah too)


New places to sleep..... Noah got the couch this time.


Although we are not "home" yet, we are thankful for churches like this that have a home for us to stay in until we get to our "Home, home". Like Noah would say. =)
