Thank you, Chelle, you’re precious and all your different comments, very sweet and encouraging. love, pamela
chills. absolute chills. I can only imagine your joy…after all, ” there is no greater joy…” how do you and Wes keep your hearts from bursting over your wonderful, beautiful, amazing children?
Jolie — How nice it is to have a message from you. I have often thought I ought to write to see how you & your husband are doing in Poland (still there??) and to encourage you as you serve the LORD so faithfully. I really am so glad you took the time to stop by and leave a message. I pray God is providing for all that concerns you, that you are well, that your health is improved and that God is guiding, hearing and answering the prayers of your heart. Thank you and God bless you richly today… with love, pamela
