Hey there!

Above is a link (hopefully) for some photos of Baby girl!

She and her mom just returned from seeing a certain son of mine:)

A BIG 'TY" to all who prayed for him while he was gone; it is SO very good to have him back on American soil!

OK---got to go.

More promises to keep today.

Blessings to all!

And a HAPPY B-Day to my other son!!

PS: Also, some pictures of my Dear SIL's place during the reunion (non-people, sorry) and a little tribute to Michael (post under the one for Baby Girl)

A Love Letter...

About 28 years ago God blessed me with a new family--a really large family :)--made up of many brothers and sisters, a mom and dad, nieces and nephews, and a wonderful daughter!

Time passed and God added to that blessing by giving me even more family...two more wonderful children, five great (as in awesome) grandchildren, a fun son-in-law, a kind DIL and a kind DIL-to-be!

But, sadly, because of work & other challenges of life, I did not always recognize this new family (or even my birth family) as the God-given blessings they were (and are)...and so I often neglected to show that I cared and loved them.

Sometimes I still neglect to do that :(

So on this week leading to St Valentine's Day (the day of love) I want to say that I thank God for all of you and wish you a week (and lifetime) of blessings and love!

God bless you! b

A Heritage of the Lord

"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."

Psalms 127:3 KJV

"Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged"

Proverbs 17: 6 NLT

I agree:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Despite the uncertainty of these times, we as Americans have much to be grateful for.

The Bible teaches that giving thanks to God is right and that it should be done often.

Giving thanks takes the focus off our current problems and reminds us of all we have been given while it helps to increase our faith in God and in His providence for us in the future.

On this day of thanksgiving what are you thankful for? Good health? Your family? A warm home? Thanksgiving dinner? This beautiful world? Your church? Life itself? The freedom to worship as you choose to? A job? I invite you to join me today and give thanks for something you are grateful for.

Blessings,
A Pilgrim's Child
