FORGIVENESS OPENS THE DOOR TO HAPPINESS

It is good to let the past go and let our souls rejoice in the goodness and faithfulness of God's love.

Yesterday was a good day. We got out of the house and had a great visit with Theresa and Kim. We were reminded in church the joy of the Lord is our strength and as we invite Jesus into our brokenness we are healed by His grace.

There is a time to let tje tears flow but then comes the time for healing.

When we arrived home there was a pot of chicken soup on the doorstep totally unexpected. jANE IS SUCH A GOOD FRIEND


To1day the snow has nearly all melted and it will be so frreeing to walk in the fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. Even a tree bare of all it's leaves has a beauty as it's branches reah up to the sky. aND WE KNOW THE LEAVES WILL RETURN.

Today I will be able to go visiting and I will be warmly received.

Today I want to write to our girl in the Congo. We have pictures of her as a small child now she is a lovely young gitl. They have a well to get clean water from and have all been given new shoes. Not a lot but at least we are making their lives a little better. HIV/AIDS are big problems. They also go to school. There is a health center for her to go to if she is sick.

We are looking forward to some of our family coming over on Sunday, especially Chris. It was good to hear the news from Ranu. And especially good to see smiling faces of
Brittany and Bryan safe back home even after losing their wallwt and camera
