Thinking about Carter at thirteen...

Friday morning...

Bradley, "Do you know what's cool, Mom?"

Mom, "What?"

Bradley, "If Carter was still with us, he would be getting arm-pit hair."

Mom, "Yeah....... I guess he would, wouldn't he?!?"


 

I loved the following words from a post of a grieving mom......

"I especially agree that time does not heal all wounds and that many grieving mothers no matter how much time has passed are functioning on Gods life support and in a state of waiting. Waiting with the promise of being reunited in Heaven with their child (ren). God bless."
 
"Functioning on God's life support."  Yes, yes......so very true!
 
 
The passing of seasons is a constant reminder that life goes on regardless.
 


Help Stop Ebola!

We can make a difference in the fight against Ebola.

Ebola has been in the international news as this deadly disease continues devastate the lives of hundreds of people in West Africa. The Ebola virus is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person. Because of that, healthcare workers and family members of victims are at great risk.
 
Teamwork Africa’s mission is to resource churches to meet the vital spiritual, physical and social needs in their communities. Now is time for our Liberian churches to step out and meet those needs. A very simple way to do that is to provide a household with a bucket with a faucet, chorine bleach and soap. Families are encouraged to have everyone wash their hands regularly. Adding just a little bit of bleach kills the Ebola virus quickly. This is part of a larger medical response training that is on going in Monrovia right now. However, $15 for the bucket is a “rich man’s price” for most Liberian families.
 
Teamwork Africa wants to parnter with our churches to give away as many of these budgets as possible with the love of Jesus during this crisis. Will you help?
  • 1 bucket= $15
  • 5 buckets= $75
  • 10 buckets= $150
  • 100 buckets= $1,500
Make you donation today!

Feeling alone...



Dear Lord, on those days when I feel cut off from help, encouragement, or support, help me to remember You are the One who is at my right hand. Thank You for being the One who helps me, counsels me and encourages me. Because of Your stability I will never be shaken ... and I will never walk alone. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
