August 2024
The view from our front porch is changing. Our neighbor is building a house on the knoll of the empty field. We are hoping that it is just the one! We sit here and marvel at God’s creation and the beauty all around us. (pic)
Mary Jane finally made it to her 2nd knee replacement surgery after having it canceled a couple of times. She is healing from her surgery and pushing through the pain for rehab. We are praying her on to better, pain free mobility in life! Thank you to our church family for showering her with love, food, meals, visits, and calls. (pic of her at the Ladies’ Fellowship)
Nancy is in the hospital with pneumonia, UTI, and sepsis. She responded quickly to the meds. Pray for her speedy recovery and strength to be home on her own again. She also needs a personal relationship with Christ. (pic – in the hospital which has been overflowing with no rooms available)
Covid is going around our area again. It seems to be everywhere; thankfully not from being at church. 🙂 It has affected some of our church families. I’m praying that it harmlessly passes through and goes away before our next (and 3rd) attempt at hosting the NRBFC conference! We are in full gear preparing for October 3rd-4th. Representative Wayne & Sandy Shatney (my parents) will be retiring at this event. If you want an invite to attend, let us know.
Happy August! We host a church family day here at our house on the 10th and go on vacation to Maine for the 18th and 25th. Thankful for Ed and the guys who will cover for us while away. Ladies’ Bible study starts Thursday mornings at church hosted by Lori C each week. School begins for many the end of the month! (pics of our back patio ready for hosting & hydrangeas from garden)
Summer is flying by. May God refresh and renew us as we focus on Him, His Word, and His people.
