I will come..

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."

John 14: 15 - 21

Love Mommy,
Just thinking about you 2 on this early. rainy Sunday Morning

One Day...

Well,
It's been awhile since I posted last. I have not forgotten about you 2, my lil beauty queens. Daddy & I had planned to visit you 2 this month. I've been very busy lately and daddy has been very sick. Seven weeks ago he had a stroke. He is recovering and doing well. He still has a ways to go. He had not forgotten about you 2 either, he asked about both of you on Saturday night (made my night). He said that he was going to work really hard so that he could be ready for you 2 when it was time for you to come home. Since mommy & daddy will not be able to come and see you soon, mommy will gather up another care package for you both and send it with the next set of travelers.



Love Mommy & Daddy!


2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind (James 1:2-6 NIV)
