Neighbors

We are a part of a little community in East Texas. About two weeks ago our neighbor felt very sick. His daughter called Barbara and she strongly suggested they call 911. He had a heart attack when the paramedics were at the house and after they revived him they took him directly to the hospital. He had surgery a week ago and is now at home thank the Lord. We have been wanting to take some sort of basic first aid course and this reinforces it. It also confirms our belief in neighbors helping neighbors. As soon as we returned to East Texas we felt right at home. We joined two prayer groups and started connecting with ministry friends from years gone by. We have been helping out in our little community by doing projects around the property. We don't have internet service at our house so we go to a cafe a few miles from our house where we meet old friends and catch up on our communications.
We have been so blessed by our East Texas neighbors!

Housefull

We are having the reprise of the family visits but this time at our house in Texas. Sarah and Nina Marie flew down for a week, Betsy and family are visiting family in Texas, and Bryan and Michelle drove down for the gathering. It is great fun in the sun!

Long Road Home

We arrived in Texas June 18th after visiting family in England, Illinois, Indiana, Washington and Denton. If feels good to have our own bed and get our clothes back into the closet and drawers instead of a carry on suitcase! It is very hot here in Texas and quite a change after being in the Northwest wearing sweaters and jackets. Family time was what we were longing for, so we are thankful that we had all of these opportunities. The grandchildren are at that precious young age where they change so quickly and if you blink you miss a milestone. "I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations" Ps 89
