I really appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>We had another scare in the middle of the night, but were not called to evacuate. <BR/><BR/>It seems like we have been living in a little cocoon; surrounded by the various fires but none have crossed into our path. How grateful we are to God!<BR/><BR/>The family that we feared had lost their home have informed us that it is still there! In fact, all 17 people whom we know had been evacuated had their homes spared!! We are so happy for all of them!! Some may think it is only coincidence. But I won't be convinced of that. Prayer works!<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-18863005257711285532007-10-24T14:14:00.000-07:002007-10-24T14:14:00.000-07:00Hi Anna,Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and ...Hi Anna,<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and your prayers for our family and friends. So many prayers have been answered...it's astounding!<BR/><BR/>I know that you have been going through some tough times. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, too.<BR/><BR/>Yes. Life can change in a heartbeat. That is why we must cling to the One who never changes! His promises are new every morning. He is our Rock and our salvation. No matter what happens in this world, knowing and having Jesus Christ in our lives gives us hope in the present and confidence in the future of eternity with Him.<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/>In Christ,<BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-51613451025747810862007-10-24T14:00:00.000-07:002007-10-24T14:00:00.000-07:00Hey John,I'm glad to read that you rediscovered my...Hey John,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to read that you rediscovered my blog! I glanced at your wordpress blog and must say congrats on losing weight and "firming up"! I'm jealous!! I can be so lazy when it comes to exercise and diet...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your kind compliment about my blog. I hope you will visit often! <BR/><BR/>BTW, saw your other comment and added you to the list of Christian blogs in that post. Also added you to my blogroll so I can find you quickly from now on!<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-52102346235305472022007-10-24T13:57:00.000-07:002007-10-24T13:57:00.000-07:00Dear Susan,It is my hearts desire to share Christ ...Dear Susan,<BR/><BR/>It is my hearts desire to share Christ with anyone who will listen to the gospel message. It thrills me when friends like you acknowledge my efforts <I>to allow the Lord to use me as a willing vessel.</I> It took many years of my fleshly life to get to that point...believe me! As always, all the glory, honor and praise belongs to our Lord.<BR/><BR/>My husband just received the fantastic news today (during a 12:00 p.m. conference call since the office is closed all week) that <I>every one of our friends and co-workers homes were spared in this tragedy!!</I> <B>Now THATS a spectacular answer to prayer!</B><BR/><BR/>When my husband, son, and I prayed for them several nights ago during our mealtime prayer, we had no idea how God would move in their lives. Many are not Christians <I>(yet!)</I>. However, they know that Charlie and I are. <BR/><BR/>I do have to be careful not to "proselytize" Charlies' co-workers. That's a big politically incorrect no-no! However, I will be sure to tell each one separately that we prayed for them, and for God's protection over their homes and property. Nothing wrong with planting a seed...right?<BR/><BR/>Thank you, as always for your kind words of encouragement. You certainly helped to lift my spirit up during this worriesome time!<BR/><BR/>God bless you! <BR/><BR/>Your sincere heart for the Lord and uplifting kindness towards your "little" sister in Christ shines through so brilliantly. It is especially needed during this difficult, sleepless-nights time. <BR/><BR/>Love you,<BR/>ChristineChristinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-69403182405613808122007-10-23T15:57:00.000-07:002007-10-23T15:57:00.000-07:00You guys be careful out there!

God often uses His people the most during tragic times. He only uses those who are available and He only uses willing vessels.<BR/><BR/>The Lord of the universe continues to use you to touch hearts and minds all over the world with His love and grace. God bless you and your family. (ss)Susan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290399161065548291noreply@blogger.com
