PART OF A FAMILY GET-TOGETHER

Last Friday, we were blessed to have our son from Acworth, GA stop in and visit. He was in the area to visit a hospital in Spartanburg, SC, to see their record keeping in oncology. However, he and most of our family (Mark and Darlene, Ben and Alissa along with their 4 young 'uns, Jessica and Jeremy with their three girls, and finally Andy and Rosana with their three girls) met for a meal and fellowship at the Bible Baptist Church near Tigerville, SC. It was only our son Tim and wife,Janie along with their 3 who were missing, as they were at home in southern Georgia.

We also heard yesterday (Monday, April 25th) that our granddaughter, BethAnne and husband, Rence, received word that she was carrying twin boys that are due in September. We are happy and thrilled for them, and on their Facebook page she also announced the names that are planned for them upon their arrival on birth date.

God has been so good to our family, and we give Him all the praise for the way He is directing our lives.

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!

What a wonderful season to contemplate that my Savior conquered death and came forth from the grave. I received a call from the cemetery where we have plots purchased, and I was asked what kind of vault we would like. My reply was that I was leaving this old house here and the simplest of vaults is all that would be necessary as I will have a new mansion to inhabit that my Savior has gone to prepare for me. This old "house" will no longer be needed. HALLELUJAH, WHAT A SAVIOR!
