Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

Another week...

We had a week "off", this past Sunday. It was nice to go to church and just be there to worship and praise the Lord with everyone else. Since we didn't have any commitments we drove over to Knoxville on Saturday, and spent the afternoon and evening with our family there. It was good to have time with them. Sunday morning, we went to Southside Baptist Church, and then in the evening we visited Victory Baptist Church in Maryville.

Today we celebrated a special event in our family. This was Teddy's "Welcome to our Family" day. It is hard to believe that he has already been with us 5 years! He is growing up and has definitely become a very special part of our family. We are so thankful to the Lord for blessing us with him! He was asking us today if grown-ups had a "Welcome to our Family" day... he had noticed that no one else in our family got to celebrate this special day. So we talked a little bit about adoption again, how he didn't join our family on his birthday, and that he was special. Later he was telling his grandpa that he got to celebrate "welcome to our family day", because he wasn't born on his birthday! LOL I don't think we have it all figured out just yet, but it will come.

Please continue to pray for our church in Manta. They are in the process of relocating to another apartment. Pray that the people will remain faithful and not get discouraged by all the testing they have gone through.

Pray for Zonia, the doctors have said, she is in the last stages of cancer. We know that only God can heal her, if that is his will.

Pray for Mandie and Ioan as they fly to the US. They will be leaving Korea around 10:00pm EST, Wednesday and arriving in Atlanta, about 11:00am EST on Thursday. Pray for safety and a good flight. Pray that Ioan can sleep on the plane, that there is an empty seat next to Mandie.

Pray for Mike, as he finishes up in Korea and gets ready to come to the US later in the month.

Pray for Ashley and Shane as their wedding is approaching soon.

Pray for Lexi, she is now working 2 jobs, and also making plans for her wedding in January.

Have a wonderful week, serving the Lord!
Joy
