Mary Christ-mas -- Mele Kalikimaka

-
What a beautifully spectacular morning.  The sun is coming up to warm the earth and the sunrise is delightful and wonderful. 

It's a bit chilly but it's a winter's day in Texas. 

How's this day treating you?  Did you open your gifts and get what you wanted or did you see that what it was, was what someone else wanted for you instead?  Either way you have been blessed by the thought of the gifter. 


 
 
In Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus sit down town and await the festivities and the people.  We used to have a great time seeing them. 
 
We sure miss being out on the road, but for now, God has a grander plan for us.  As difficult as we feel our daily lives can be, difficult because of working and paying the debts off again; we know the joy of hitching up one day and pulling our rig down the road and stopping by the beaches, the mountains, the rivers and streams, the lakes, and the life that awaits we will continue to push through until something happens.  (Pray Until Something Happens).  In all our getting though, we are making a difference in ours lives.  Working in an International Ministry with just the love we have for Jesus has been wonderful and eye opening.  How do you show others love when they believe different than you do?  How do you help others when they are different than you?  Show them the Love that speaks through nations and religions.  God's love shows brightly without saying much but showing it through the love of children.
 
Have a Mary Christ-mas and may the year you had be a blessing you hold onto as you await the blessings to come.

We are back

 It's been a while right?   A lot has happened since the last time.   We sold Roonie about 2 years ago.  She was a great rig.  She took us to places we never dreamt of going.  We were in Vidalia LA, Beaver UT, Omaha NE, and Montana a few times. We put about 40,000 miles on her.  We crisscrossed America.  Highways and Bi-ways, National Parks, and a few state parks.  We worked at different KOA's for 7 seasons.   Roonie went to a new home and we got Gracie Royale.  Gracie had low miles on it and she has not run the US as much yet, but she is gearing up to.   Mary passed over the Rainbow Bridge the day after Thanksgiving.  We always told her when she was ready, let us know.  She did.  She was an amazing girl. Mary was prescribed by a doctor in FL. Her story is truly one of a fighter who wanted to live.    Life goes on right?   With the Sudden death of my son, at the age of 39 at the end of February, and the two non-speaking-to-us children we have- one just delivered her final blow,

Because He loves you.

When you start reading different stories in the Word of God, you begin to realize that perfect people were not in the Bible.  So why do we think we have to be perfect first before we come to the Lord.  We don't, that's the beauty of it.  He turns our lives around, he accepts us just for who we are.  Some have done so much in their short life that they wonder if they can ever be accepted or forgiven.  I am here to tell you, Jesus saves.  He loves us regardless how we view ourselves or feel about ourselves.  He brings us out of the pit of despair, the pit of hell, the grip of the enemy.  He does and he finds us valuable in His Kingdom, even if the world doesn't.  He finds us and lifts us up to be something great.  We all have calls on our lives, but it's what you do with that knowledge and call that determines your outcome.  But I have to say sometimes we put ourselves into such a pit that we can not see how we can get out of it.  When we can't seem to see a way

Waiting/Wading in The UNTILS

  What does that mean?  Waiting OR Wade in the Untils !    We all wait OR WADE for or in the UNTILS  a few times in our lives.  We wait until we get married, or our children start school, or until  our debts are paid off, or until our kids graduate, or until this or until that.  UNTIL death do us APART- our wedding vows.  The Meaning of UNTIL is... until ŭn-tĭl′ - a  preposition Up to the time of. Before (a specified time). Unto; to. We ALL wait for the UNTILS!   What is your UNTIL?  Our UNTIL is ever-changing, much like everyone else's.   Sometimes we even tell our loved ones that UNTIL you change, this won't happen!   But friends, if you want change you have to be the change first.   Our UNTILS were hard as many of yours may be too!   Wait until the cancer treatment is over, wait until we get to where we can settle down.  Wait until we know the schedule to add any more to it.  We sit on wait, waiting on UNTIL!   But UNTIL what?   Sometimes the wait is HARD, sometimes it is a
