Vacation is Over!
Friday, July 07, 2006
We are back from South Padre as some of you already know! We had a wonderful time. I must say I just stopped and enjoyed God's creation. I sat under the umbrella on the beach and just admired the ocean for hours, then we would walk sometimes four or five miles up the beach to the jetty and back. I swam for hours on end, in the ocean and in the pool.
The drive is about twelve hours away, but it didn't seem like it. We took our bibles and are doing a study by Steve Collins, called Christian Discipleship. It has been a wonderful study. I started it with the boys who are coming to live with us in September. The purpose was to disciple them, but to really give them a foundation and have them examine their salvation experience by God's Word, then showing them how to share their faith and make disciples.
I must say I have been refreshed and blessed. It's good to be home, my mother is very sick with blood clots in her leg. If you would send up a prayer for her. God has sustained her and kept her in the palm of His hand. I am so glad I know Him. Hugs and God Bless!

OK, lets try to post again...I messed up last time! Welcome home, you were missed. It does a soul good to get away, it helps prepare us for what is ahead. My prayers of course go up for you and your mom, I ceratainly can relate. I was over my moms today, it was not one of her better days. God does sustain though and I give Him all my praise and thanks. God Bless!
Glad you are back. It sounds like a really relaxing vacation. It sounds like you had some good study time too. I'm sending up prayers for your mom.
WE just got back ourselves. It is SO GOOD to be HOME!
WE pushed on past the place where we were going to stop for a hotel, another seven hours of driving, just so we could be home again.
We rewarded ourselves with an extra dayt of vacation doing things that tourists do when visiting our area. It was fun, and relaxing!
Home!!!!
I'm glad you are home safely, and I will pray for your mom!
Praying for your Mummy...
