Relaxing On A Lazy Summer Afternoon…

Yesterday we drove home from North Carolina. It was a long drive. We had scheduled a revival service we were to sing at in the evening but because of a few wrong turns it didn’t work out and we had to cancel. We would have loved to make it out there and we hope we can in the future.
Today is a beautiful day here and we have mainly relaxed from our traveling yesterday. It was a long drive and since we got off the beaten path a little we once again curved and wound around the mountains in West Virginia. Now West Virginia has mountains! It’s amazingly beautiful there….
Tonight I am hoping we can have Macaroni and tomato juice for supper and fried corn bread. If you have not had this meal you need to. Simple go to the store and get macaroni and tomato juice and Martha White Corn bread mix. It is the best!
We have a little friend who has been hanging out with us today. He acted like he was hungry so, Hope being the little mercy that she is, wanted to feed him. He might be hanging around for a while now… He is so cute he just plops down in the front yard and listens to us chat. It’s really kinda cute. Here Hope is sitting with him. I took it just a couple of minutes ago. I think she is eating a pop ice. 
This morning I had my devotions out on the porch. I was reading in the book of John. I was reading of the acts of Jesus and his healings. I am also trying to study up for when I speak to the girls here at the Bethany home. I am thinking that the Lord would have me speak on His Love for them. I want them to realixe and know how much we are worth to Him. Therefore we don’t need to run to other things…. such as relationships, friends, drugs, and all the other empty things. We don’t need them at all for happiness. All we need to is to fall more deeply in love with Jesus. It’s a life long source that we will always drink from if we invest in. Jesus says, and I know this is true, that if we drink of Him we won’t thirst anymore for anything but more of Him. Oh that I would drink more deeply of Him day-by-day….
I hope that you all are enjoying this beautiful summer God has given us and counting your blessings on the front porch….

I loved the West Virgina sign. My parents were born in WVA . They moved her before they started a family. When I was little we used to go there every summer to visit my grandparents. They have all died so I don’t visit anymore. My Dad has died and my Mom only visits every few years. I went to LPN nursing school in Beckly and lived there for 2 years and moved back here. I lived with my Grandma while going to nursing school and working in a small counrty hospital for 1 year. I am enjoying reading your stories and seeing your Mom’s wonderful pictures. Most of my fond and cheerished memories comefrom trips my daughter Jennifer and I have taken just the 2 of us. Enjoy your time with your Mom. They are precious times together that will last a life time!
