Thanks Be to God

This Thanksgiving has been a very special one and as our family shared what they were Thankful for we all agreed it was that Dad was here with us. I have read several emails in the last 3 weeks about friends and acquaintances where loved ones have recently passed on because of heart related issues. Which increases my thankfulness and gratitude to the Lord for Zach and his love and care of our family, his love of life and how he has so much fun just living life as it comes at him. This year on a whole has not been much fun but God has been abundant in providing for us while Zach has been out of work.

I owe a huge THANK YOU to those who out of their hearts gave gifts to us as the Lord led them. Some were anonymous and we were in awe every time a gift of money or resources was given to us, we even cried over most.

I owe my older children a much need thanks also as they have sacrificed time and resources for the family to help keep it going. I have seen them grow in maturity and responsibility. And grown in their faith also. It truly gives me no greater joy than to see my children walk in truth with their Lord and learn to be self thinkers and learners.

Happy Thanksgiving

Providence House

Here is our house. The house that my husband calls a craftsman on steroids. It is 5000 sq. ft. 4 bedroom 4 bath. It will be only by the Providence of God that it will be finished and He knows when that will be. It truly is the house that God built or is building rather. We have spent about 56000 out of pocket the rest the Lord hath provided. One of the biggest contributers to this fine home is Parr Lumber who supplied 50% of the lumber and when Zach was in the hospital for his heart stuff they donated the siding and Kennedy construction put it on for free!!!!! Anderson Heating and Air conditioning gave us a furnace and Bastian Plumbing has gotten the ruff plumbing done and I believe plans to do the rest. Someone also donated our roofing that is the top of the line no three tab, it is rubberized and will last 50 yrs. Two months after the roof was on which was in Nov. last year, so in Feb. Zach became ill and just has not had the strength and now finances to finish it. Especially since we were hoping to this all out of pocket as the Lord provides by his providence.
