1 John 5:2


This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.



Happy Birthday Joyce, your family misses you!!

Seven years ago a little girl was born and she was very sick.  She had a hole in her heart and couldn't nurse without getting so tired.  She never could quite get enough to eat and her birth mother was very worried about her.  She was not gaining weight and growing.  Her mother couldn't afford to take her to the doctor to save her.  You see in 3rd world countries parents are often forced to do the unthinkable.  Do I keep my child and watch her die or do I leave her somewhere she will be found and taken to the doctor.  The sad truth is that hospitals and other organizations will treat the abandoned child, but not the child that the mother brings in that cannot pay.  We are so thankful that Joyce was found and her life was saved and redeemed.  Under the meticulous care of the Sisters in the order of Mother Teresa she was saved. They weren't sure she would live. They fed her with a tiny tube down her throat and provided her with her life saving heart surgery.  Each child has a story, purpose, and meaning.  Each and every life  is important whether they are born into wealth or poverty.

.Psalm 34:11


Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD
