The Blessings of the Lord

This was posted on by .

It’s a quiet day, and the sun is trying to peek through the clouds. I can hear the rushing of a nearby creek, and the family is scattered around the house and surrounding areas. A house? Yes, a family graciously loaned us the use of their house for three nights here in Georgia. It was wonderful to sit around a table together last night and spread out in the living room for family Bible time.

We’ve had quite a few rainy days over the last week. Monday was no exception, with rain lightly falling throughout much of the day. A large crowd showed up for that night’s conference, and we’re grateful to Holly for all the work she did in publicity.

The coordinator provided a dinner of eastern North Carolina BBQ for us, and we enjoyed the different style of BBQ from the Kansas City style. Eastern BBQ has a slight vinegar taste, and Kansas City BBQ is sweet n’ tangy.

Hearts again seemed open to the message that was shared, and we pray the Lord Jesus will bring lasting fruit in the generations to come.

We’re now in an unofficial countdown until we start the journey home. Tonight, we’ll be doing a gospel bluegrass concert here in Carrollton, Georgia, and tomorrow night, we’ll be doing our normal, evening homeschool conference at the same church. Then, our last weekend conference will be in Columbus, Georgia. We plan to drive several hours Saturday night to get a head-start on Sunday’s long drive home.

Thank you for all your prayers! —- Sarah

  1. Hi Maxwell Family,
    We were so blessed by your presence at Rocky Mount Baptist Church on Wednesday evening. It’s wonderful to see/hear your family sharing God’s given talents through your playing instruments, singing and sharing of your faith. My family and I look forward to spending more time with y’all on Thursday evening at the conference. Have a wonderful day and be sure to wade in that beautiful creek below the house.

  2. Hi! We had a wonderful time at the conference and learned so much. My husband is still talking about it and that is a great blessing. Madison and Sydney had a wonderful time meeting Sarah. They just love the Moody books.
