It is sad that we have to come a place late in our lives in order to realize that our lives are in God's hands (too late; too schmart) . We think it is because of who we are or what we have done that we gain grace in God's eyes. It is is not so. If only we could see that the same applies in our relationships with each other. It is not because of who we are or what we have done that our friends and family love and accept us. I am thankful for those around me who have accepted and continue to love me (THANK YOU). My prayer today is that I will learn to be more loving, kind and patient.
2 Timothy 1:9
He has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time...

What a powerful statement this is!
This is the true Christian faith in action. As friends and family we stand together, and understand together, knowing that it is only by grace that any one of us stand.
We love you and Evelyn, Rick, and your entire family. You are a great example of a Christian faith that works by love. What an inspiration!
Rick, this poem about family really ministerd to me, and I pray that it will bless you as well.
"To be apart of a family like mine
is so divine
where love is shown
hurt is shared
our love for each other is never impaired
"we talk
we laugh
we cry
"but we are a family
and we do it all together
for as a family
we do it all as one
"you hurt one
you hurt all
and as a family unit
we will all stand tall
"for we are family
a family full of strength
a family full of love
a family no one can touch
that, s why I love my family so much."
