~Part 1 of I.H.C. 2016~

God gave us a WONDERFUL I.H.C.
This is partly personal, but God answered a specific HUGE prayer for our family, and for that we PRAISE HIM!!!

I'm going to share with you LOTS of fun pics from I.H.C....
BUT FIRST I NEED YOU TO PRAY FOR ME!

I have been asked to speak tonight at the Women of Worth in Indianapolis.  I'm not one that likes to speak up front, so I'm depending on God BIG TIME! Oh, that the Ladies will see Jesus and not me! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!

~PART 1 OF I.H.C. 2016~

This, That, and I.H.C!

~I.H.C~ 

"MY" Beloved I.H.C. :-) is just next week!  YAY!

We get to attend IN PERSON THIS YEAR!  HOORAY! :-)

We can't wait to see Friends we haven't seen for a while...

To Greet each with a nod, handshake, hug, or a smile.

BUT MOST OF ALL...WE ARE ASKING JESUS TO BE THERE!

We want HIS PRESENCE to fill the place...Everywhere!!

To Save or Sanctify, encourage, or Revive...

Each one of us, so that IN HIM we will Thrive!

For One day, all will end, though we know not when...

Then we'll attend the BEST I.H.C. up in HEAVEN!!! :-)

I want to LIVE MY LIFE so I KNOW that I'll be THERE....

At that "I.H.C. of I.H.C.s" up in Heaven so Fair!!!

 ~At the end of my last post I showed you pics of the house being knocked down beside us.  Here's the EMPTY FIELD that is beside us now!~

 ~One day this week, Bro. Paul and Zack rode by our house on their bikes.  So, Kimberly made them an Argentine Mate, and we served a tray of chocolates. :-) ~

 ~Abigail wearing Mary's sunglasses.~

 ~My DEAR FRIEND Kimberly N. came by and Sonya too. 
Kimberly and I have been friends since we were teenagers and she is who our Kimberly is named after.
Here, Noah is playing his guitar for "Aunt Kimberly."~

 ~Our Missionary Convention started last night and goes through Sunday with Eric and Hannah Kuhns. 
All are invited to come.  It is being held at our Christian Nation Church.  (All except Saturday evening we are having an international dinner elsewhere.) ~

 ~Mr. Elijah got his cast off this morning.  So please excuse the many pics and angles of his SIGNED cast, but we want it for our blog books.~

 ~Noah ad Elijah right before Elijah got his cast off early this morning. ~

 ~He now has a brace to wear for 3 weeks.~

 ~This morning a dear friend asked if she could bring some Krispy Kreme donuts by. 
Well, of course.  :-) 
Thank you, Dear MEGAN for your kindness.  They were delish and a great addition to our brunch.~
