to gain what he cannot lose.”

I know what you mean. As a mother, I’ve truly come to understand a bit of that verse: no greater joy…
They are to me such a joy and the thought that God would be merciful and use me in this manner is more than I can or could ever possibly fathom: their mother. What Great love the Lord has lavished on me and what great mercy – using me in spite of myself. Really – it’s too high for me to grasp – God’s merciful kindness to me – to us – through the years.
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?

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
Thank you for your encouraging note, Jill — and yes, may we be found faithful!! Yes! To god alone be glory! He is marvelous and this is the LORD’s doing and it *is* marvelous in our eyes! Isn’t Timothy blessed and a blessing!
Wow! “bringeth forth his fruit in his season” What a reward for a humble mother, wife, and home maker who I admire greatly!! God’s Blessing to you!
I absolutely love those pictures, especially the first one! Such a blessing to know that the angels are rejoicing…may the Lord God be praised and may we all be diligent in serving Him! To God be the glory!
