Dear Ones, We hope that September with all its ups and downs, as life often has, has pushed you forward to the new month and chapter..October..Onward, ever Onward!September found us both battling severe flu like symptoms, very similar to covid..treated with lots of soups with garlic, onions, chicken ginger curcuma etc etc! Lemon,vitamin C..and rest Thank the Lord as you can see in the photos, we are up on our feet again..I really did not think I would be able to regain my stamina! Pure prayer support!The following is just a little thought, concerning the ever important part of our lives..PATIENCE AND PEACE!We are so very grateful for your prayers and donations which help us to keep going..
God, teach me to be patient;
Teach me to go slow.
Teach me how to wait on You
When my way I do not know.
Teach me sweet forbearance
When things do not go right,
So I remain unruffled
When others grow uptight.
Teach me how to quiet
My racing, rising heart,
So I may hear the answer
You are trying to impart.
Teach me to let go, dear God,
And pray undisturbed until
My heart is filled with inner peace
And I learn to know Your will!
—Helen Steiner Rice (1900–1981)
