The Love of God for Me…

 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Our sins are forgiven, we have peace in Him and we are healed! How precious the reality of true life in Jesus! We had a very precious communion service here this evening with our little group of believers. Even tho our numbers are very few, our God is still the same and is with us. The children were very open in their curiosity and wanted to observe everything that we were doing. The feet washing practice was especially interesting, they thought!  What a joy to give them a Godly example of Biblical teaching.

Thanks to those of you who have been praying for our safety in this week of trembling earth here. For those who didn’t hear, last Sun. there was an earthquake centered 2 hrs east of us with a 7.2 magnitude on the scale. It shook us pretty much here but we were very blessed to not have any damage. It’s a very strange feeling to quickly leave the house because it’s shaking, only to find that outside the ground is swaying as well.  Throughout the week we’ve continued to have tremors that keep us wondering what is happening but nothing worse. Greivin’s have had some things fall off the walls but nothing harmed. It’s wonderful to be able to rest in God’s protection and know that He controls even the innards of the earth.

We were also blessed to be able to go to Tijuana again on Tuesday and spend some time with Virgil & Liz. It’s so encouraging to see the progress she has made and we thank God for answered prayer thus far, even if we don’t know the future.

We are enjoying the new life of springtime…

Fresh radishes from our garden!!             And there were a lot!

The newest kids we have!

 

By faith, the girls planted some flowers. Hopefully, with time it will be full and beautiful.

 

 

Our youth had a wonderful afternoon hiking! It’s clear that there were some ‘be there’ jokes going on!
