I like that they're standing in front of a tank. After all, love is a battlefield . . .
especially with Robert N. : )

Hi, Gregg... I try to read your blog every week or so...but lately I've lagged behind. Some wonderful man has taken all my time and all my thoughts! VBG! But I couldn't resist posting on this subject since Dale and I were each married happily for 57 years to our spouses. Now we begin a new romantic adventure with one another, a brand new love affair we are enjoying, one only God could give us.

It is my prayer that your parents have many, many more happy years together. God, in His grace and wisdom, had a plan for Dale and me....for which we praise Him. We are deeply and truly in love which is an amazing blessing neither of us were seeking or expecting. But we both will always cherish, remember and honor our first love.

When you talk with your parents next, remind them that we never know what a day may hold and to always, always cherish each moment they have together. And you and Sherry do the same. Only God knows when that last moment may come.

With love,
Joyce Lewis

Beauty in the backyard...

Image
We are thoroughly enjoying the spring this year. In our part of the world, it is green, green, green. While we know that humidity comes with the green, we are enjoying the beauty of the growing world around us - especially, in our backyard. However, the growing comes not only in color but in sound. We have so many birds in our backyard. Loud ones, too. And, an owl. God is so good. If we wait on Him and listen, He speaks. Even through the sights and sounds of spring.

Remembering to Pray

Image
On Sunday morning, we awoke to the ongoing coverage of a national tragedy. As of this writing, 49 families lost a loved one, killed in cold blood.   53 other families are still waiting for their loved ones to heal and recover from life-threatening wounds.   Still others are wondering how they made it out alive.   All affected by this tragedy will never be the same. And a nation mourns.   Now is the time to pray. Pray for recovery – both physically and emotionally – and that all would feel the healing and comfort of Christ Himself. Now is not the time for blame. Now is not the time for hidden (and not so hidden) agendas to take priority over the care required for the hurting.   Now is not the time to presume upon God whatever motive suits us. And, now is not the time to score political points for our preferred politicians. There will be time for remedial action but in the near term, we have a healing role to play in our fa...

Sponsor a Child Today!

Image
--> In addition to having our children, my bride and I have enjoyed the privilege of sponsoring children internationally. But, what does it mean to "sponsor a child"?  Through the Church of God's Children of Promise ministry ( www.echildrenofpromise.org ), you and I have the opportunity to literally change lives through financial and spiritual means. For just $32 per month (about a tank of gas in the US), you can sponsor a child and immediately affect his or her life through schooling, clothing, food, and spiritual nourishment. And, this is not just for the child but also his or her family, too. When a child is sponsored the ripple effect is dramatic. In addition, sponsoring a child means establishing and developing a real relationship. Through emails, letters, gifts, prayers, and personal visits on mission trips, sponsors can play an invested role in a child's life that is so very fulfilling. We have sponsors in our church who ...
