Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58
Happy Birthday, John! We are grateful God gifted you to our family, and we delight in your life.
Facts about John:
Before John was born, we studied John the Baptist (see John 1:1-36 as an example). Dad and Mom decided John would be the baby’s name if he was a boy, and he was.
He loves the Lord Jesus.
He can drink a strong, black cup of coffee, with no sweetener whatsoever (gulp!).
He is a practical, very handy, fix-it guy. If John can’t fix it, you’re in trouble.
He is a hard worker.
He loves to help others.
He is a gifted troubleshooter.
John is a master at mudding, sanding, and caulking.
John Maxwell
Happy Birthday!
With Love, Your Family
“Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity.” Titus 2:6-7
We are grateful to each of our conference coordinators for all the work they put into the conference. After set up Friday afternoon, we had family devotions in the bus, and then the coordinator brought us dinner: a delicious taste of the southwest.
The music session went well, and our audience was the most interactive of all the groups we’ve sung for so far! In between sessions, a highlight for our family is being able to speak with families. Our prayer is that the Lord Jesus is glorified in everything shared during each session and in the other conversations.
After listening to our church service via cell phone to the nursing home yesterday morning, Dad, Joseph, John, and Jesse were out at the bus, when a car pulled up with a mom and son, who had attended the conference, They had been surprised to see our bus behind a hotel as they were returning from their morning church service, which is amazing since they didn’t know where we were staying and would have only had a second to see the bus between buildings. They decided to go to Trader Joe’s and purchase John some birthday gifts since yesterday was his birthday. They brought a large bag of goodies and a huge several foot-long box of cookies! We were very touched by their thoughtfulness to John. Thank you :-)!
Tonight we’ll be going to Fountain Hills (outside of Phoenix) for an evening conference.
Only for Jesus, Sarah
John, with the goodies that a family blessed him with!
