Abby Rupert used to work with me during the Summer while she was in college.
One day in August she ran home for break. When she came back she had a
picnic basket filled with a whole meal for our Anniversary. She wanted us to
go on a picnic to celebrate. Some place I have pictures of this kindness.
Two weeks ago she was married. She waited until she found THE ONE!
I trust God will bless them together.

We have been Praying for a year about a place for Steve & Angie. Praying they would sell their house on Snydertown Rd, & find one just for them out near Mahaffey. God has Answered!!!!!!

So much work! Paper to strip, painting to be done, bathrooms to be replaced, & carpeting to be replaced. Much cleaning and labor was put in. Friends and family enjoyed helping ! Pop Pop cut the lawn, & cleaned the basement. Friends & family scrubbed and painted. The results are wonderful. More pictures to follow. Angie has a special way of decorating that makes the place seem soooooooooo homey.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!

2010-06-22T05:42:00.002-04:00

We were out to Steve's for Father's Day. What a good time we had. Sitting around the fire was such a joy.

Mike went down to Lock Haven to see the planes that came in for the fly in at Piper Airport.

WHAT AN EVENTVILLE THREE WEEKS!

2010-06-13T18:09:00.006-04:00

We were invited to Stevie's Award Banquet. The food was delicious. The students put on a skit. It was rewarding to see what they had accomplished in the year.

While we were at Steve's, we went to the tunnels. It went 3600 feet under a town. That was interesting.

After we left the tunnels.....we headed to the Horseshoe Curve. The train comes up a mountain, proceeds around a sharp curve, then goes around the horseshoe and proceeds on its way.

MIRACLES MIRACLES!!!!!

2010-05-24T20:00:00.002-04:00

Yesterday, little Hannah, 2 years old fell down the stairs. She is Randy and Jennifer(my niece) Welch's baby. They were visiting PA for the week end. She was unresponsive, blue, and not breathing. She started seizures. The chopper came & picked her up and took her to Danville. When they reached the hospital....she was crying. When Cheri & David with her parents walked in the room, she said, "PopPop, Mommy, Daddy, & Nanna." God had performed a Miracle!!!! TO HIM WE GIVE PRAISE!!!!!!

2010-03-27T14:02:00.002-04:00

When I was living in East Windsor, I had a Very Special Friend. Her name was Marjorie Edson. They came to our Church. We were inseparable. Every year we used to be in the same class. Then in the middle of the year they moved to Florida. I was devastated. I have tried to find her every since.

About a week ago, I heard her sister and mother lived in Afton. I started looking online. Behold I found her sister. I made a call and FINALLY................I got Marjorie's number and talked to her.

She still lives in Florida. Her mom is there now. So we were able to reminisce a lot. GOD IS SO GOOD TO US! He gives us the desires of our heart different times.

This is Shirley and her husband. I had forgot all about her. But when I saw her name I knew she was Marjorie's older sister. Needless to say...................I was thrilled!

THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS!

2010-03-02T20:37:00.005-05:00

Here is a lady that is very dear to me. I met her at McDonald's many years ago. Her husband has since passed away. She makes the best toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, I have ever eaten.

We went to Perkins to celebrate with Maria. She is a co-worker. She made the Dean's List in college. Sunday is her birthday. Soooooooooo............Delores and I took her out to treat her.

Maria came to work with me when she was in high school. She has less than a year to go, and then will be a teacher in Special Ed. Other than her parents, we have been rooting the loudest for her. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MARIA!!!!

PRAISE THE LORD FOR MIRACLES!!!

2010-02-28T17:15:00.003-05:00

We are so grateful for the Miracle God has given us. It was just a few weeks back that Mike received word that his brother had reached the end. There was nothing more Doctors' could do. His heart was shutting down. BUT, GOD!!!!!! We all went to Prayer. He has been down here with Donalee and helping the boys sawing lumber.

The doctors were amazed. People were amazed. When God works...........there is nothing He can not do. Again we have to say, PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!!!!!!!! Mike was thrilled to be able to Worship with him again today. We don't take these things for granted.

THANK GOD FOR GRANDCHILDREN!!!

2010-02-28T16:49:00.004-05:00

Remember the times of tent making? My grandsons love it. MiMI has taught them things we used to do as children. Another game they love is Huckle Buckle Beanstalk! We play it most times we're there. They love it.

Steve had just bought this bench from the Amish. When they got it in the room.......the boys' mind started working. "MiMI could you show us how to make a tent with it?"

Here is the finished product. They were in there. It sure keeps MiMi and Pop Pop going.

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-02-08T22:17:00.002-05:00

We were able to get a van today. We have been looking for about 6 months. They were beyond what we could afford. We just kept Praying, telling the Lord, we were ok with keeping the car we had. But, it was getting harder for Mike to get out of it. I needed something he could sit right in at waist level. AND HERE WE ARE.!!! We talked it over and decided what we could afford. When he came out with the price.........................BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just what we had said. So.........no car payments. THANK THE LORD FOR THAT!! GOD IS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRENDAN!

2010-02-07T21:58:00.004-05:00

Yesterday was a big day for our youngest grandson. On Friday, the 5th, he turned 5. We went to a birthday party yesterday.

Close friends of Steve and Angela were able to be there. Stevie & Brendan love to go to their house. Also they are picking up "Dutch". They understand a lot of it. She is a very dear person. A true mother.

When it is time to blow out the candles....................there is always lots of help.

Pappy & Robin were on hand to catch the excitement.

our families.

One day Mike came to pick me up from work. He had some passengers. Donalee's sons were in the back seat. Lane, Luke, & Linden. They had come to help Uncle Mike. I had free coupons for McDonald's.

It was such a nice day.....we ate at the picnic tables. God has been soooooooo good to us. It seems when we need help......He always provides.

FINALLY! A BIRTHDAY PARTY!!

2009-10-30T18:52:00.006-04:00

Last week end was a (High Light) in our lives. We left Friday after noon for Steve's. We stayed over night and came back Saturday afternoon. Angela had an Amish women out there make this cake for Stevie.

His party was held at Amish friends place. Here is his best friend, Henry Lee. It was a surprise to Stevie to have the party there. He got to go to school on Monday with his friend as well.

While we were there, we were able to get some pictures of Stevie's Great grandmothers. Here, Angie & boys are with her mother's mother. Three generations.

Here she is with her dad and grandmothers'. His mom is in front of him. Four generations!

It has been Steve's hope to get his dad to come and hunt with him. AND, get a deer. It finally happened. They got up early Saturday morning.....................came back in just a little while with his deer to fill his doe tag.

I guess they both were near tears. Mike hasn't been able to hunt for 18 years. Steve was so gentle with him. I really don't know who was the happiest....... Mike or Steve. Now, Steve wants Mike to come out for deer season. He says we will get you a real buck.
Isn't God Good? He has answered so many of our Prayers this week. WE PRAISE HIM!!!!!!!! We thank God for our boys! They are soooooooooooooo good to us!

GOD GAVE US A WONDERFUL DAY!

2009-10-22T21:25:00.002-04:00

We went to the PA Grand Canyon today.
What a fun day we had together.

It is an awesome sight. We have lived here almost
10 years and it was our first trip.

It was so nice.....you could park close to where you picked up the trail.
I didn't have to work today. It made it so we could go.

GOD IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!

TABLES ARE TURNED!

2009-10-18T13:14:00.003-04:00

HARVEST HOME

This is the day we do the Service and Honor our Parsonage Family.
This years theme was done by the Steve Yarrison Family.
I just love that cider press and old tins.

Sr. Gertrude Fisher was in charge. Many people had a part to show our love for our Pastor & family. We even had some new musicians do a number. They used a guitar, harmonica, and flute. God Bless our young people! Even a special guest showed up....but, you would have had to be there.

GOD'S GAVE US A WONDERFUL SUNDAY!

2009-09-14T19:46:00.004-04:00

I went out for dinner tonight with two co-workers and a dear lady who used to come into McDonald's with her husband every morning. He has been gone for about 3 years. But, we like to keep in touch with her. So we try to go out about once a month. It makes her day.

2009-08-11T07:35:00.006-04:00

We were able to surprise Mike. He went to their school to help David. (Cheri's husband) We went to work decorating.

The cake was beautiful!

This is when he came in and realized the party was for him!
HaHa, Hon, we got it over on you!

Isn't God good? I love serving Him. He gives us such benefits when we give Him all our life.
Mike turned 69. In 10 days He will let us celebrate our 45th anniversary.

WHAT GOD SENDS OUR WAY!!!!!!!!!!

2009-07-15T16:16:00.003-04:00

Last Wednesday, we were needing an uplift. Mike wasn't feeling well, and we were feeling lonesome. We are here all alone now, so sometimes things are hard. We were on our way home from Prayer Meeting when the cell phone rang. It was Angie saying there was something left at the house for us.

When we pulled in the yard......................................we had company! Here they are eating with PopPop for breakfast. Then we went yard saling!

Of course there had to be a "walk" squeezed in there. They love to go walking with "PopPop". How we Praise the Lord for sending us what we need......................when we need it.

I am so thankful.................Praise His Name! In this day of uncertainty God can keep us steady, if we keep our hand in His Big Hand.

We had a wonderful day yesterday. We had been invited to a community picnic. We got to meet our new neighbors. Then we went to some friends that needed encouraging. We come away Blessed ourselves. God is so good. I love serving Him!

I am trusting to see some mighty Prayers answered this week. He is able!

WONDERFUL DAYS ON BAILEY ISLAND

2009-06-25T20:42:00.009-04:00

We went to tour this Morris Mansion. It sure took us back it time. Dishes and furniture all in place.

This sea gull was sitting on the truck beside us. It would not move. Mike said even when the people came out and got into it, he sat still. He never flew until they pulled out. A man had come out with a shovel and scooped up a sea gull the other side of the truck that was dead. Apparently, his mate.

Taken at the giant staircase.

Jessica

Cheri, David, Jessica, Mike & me

Cheri & David

We thank God for such a wonderful time together. Each night we have Prayed together for our families. There is more Power with God when "two or three agree together". PRAISE THE LORD!

WHAT AN AWESOME GOD!

We always like to get a picture of the boys with the flowers.

Our house is to the right of Stevie. Pop Pop loves when the boys come for the day!

WONDERFUL SUNDAY!

2009-06-07T17:29:00.003-04:00

Our hearts were thrilled this morning! God came into our midst! It was a real as if we heard the door open and shut as He entered. We sat in HEAVENLY PLACES! What a JOY to serve Him!
In this day of pressures all around us.............we need to " feel the touch from the Lord is so real". It will be the only thing to keep us on the old fashioned Way. When I see so many compromising all around me........................I cry, "Lord help me to dig deeper" I have so many I want to wake up to see where the "angel of light"(satan) has deceived so many. I want to keep a keen edge on my spiritual life. It is Glorious Way!
I am Praising God for the Miracle a loved one received this past week. It was a Miracle! God is soooo GOOD. Why doesn't the whole world want to serve Him.
This week we will be preparing for our vacation in Maine. I have 6 more scheduled days left at McDonald's for the Summer. We finally have most of our garden in.....................We received a lot of rain this past week. Hopefully, it will help it to grow. Look to Jesus...............in these days we need Him every moment of our lives!

GRADUATION!

2009-06-07T16:03:00.008-04:00

On Sunday morning, May 24th, we got a call from our son Steve. He wanted us to come out in the afternoon to be with them and meet all their Church people. They were camping on "THE HILL". Most all the people are related in one way or the other. How thankful we were that we went out. God is soooooooooo GOOD! I got to meet a friend I hadn't seen in 42 years. She used to be Helen Coonrod. Now she is Helen Junod. What a visit we had. We met new friends and re aqainted with old ones. What precious people. We can say we thoroughly enjoyed our selves. On Monday we met back "ON THE HILL" for a Memorial Day picnic.

Helen hasn't changed. Full of it as ever. She is playing hide & seek with the children. Got stuck in the well house with a little boy. When she came out................she dove out. HaHaHa. It was truly a wonderful weekend.

Mike, Me, Helen (Coonrod) Junod & Husband, and my daughter in law, Angela.

A big group went 4 wheeling. When the came back......oh, the mud! This is Steve's Pastor, Bro. Doorman. They took an adult ride, then later.....they took a family ride. All the little children were able to take their little 4 wheelers and go. Everyone out there gets around on 4 wheelers. Women as well. The food was delicious! Everyone brought towards it. We never could eat it all.

There were many people there on " The Hill" It was good to see Abby Arnold & children.

Pop Pop had to get in on the excitement as well. He is on Stevie's little 4 wheeler. It was a wonderful week end.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY AT STEVE'S

2009-05-14T21:05:00.010-04:00

Angie invited me to go to their Mother's Day Banquet with her. It was held at Stevie's school. The decorations were beautiful. Everyone did a great job.

On Wednesday we had a great time. Steve took us to an Amish snack shop for breakfast. WOW! We ordered one breakfast for both of us. It consisted of 2 pancakes (12"wide X 1/2" thick), 2 eggs, and 2 large sausage patties. It cost $4.00. We couldn't eat it all.

When we got home..........................the boys and MiMi needed to take walks and take some pictures.

If you look close.....you will see the violets..................aren't they pretty?

The BIG surprise of the day was..........................daddy traded in his bike and got a 4-wheeler.

Even PopPop had to get in on the excitement. When I looked out just before we left....Steve had one in front of him and the other one behind him. They were driving all over the field beside their house. We Praise Him for all the help He has given to Steve and Angie to this point.

WHAT A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

2009-05-14T20:29:00.005-04:00

We went to Lebanon Church with Paul's family on Sunday Morning. Joy Budensiek was the speaker. WOW!! I could have stayed all day and listened to her. God IS the answer to all our needs. He NEVER fails!

On Saturday, Paul took me to Fire Mountain for dinner. It was delicious!

God is sooooooooooo good to me. I never could Praise Him enough! I try though.

SOME HAPPY BOYS!

2009-05-09T15:24:00.005-04:00

On Tuesday, Angie came back to get some things. We invited them to stay over night if they wanted to. As they were coming...........she asked the boys if they wanted to stay................They said they wanted to go back home. While they were with PopPop....he told them it looked like daddy was going to make it home. They hugged each other and said, "Daddy's coming home....Daddy's coming home!" God sure helped them with this move. We praise Him!

Angie found out there is a Pre-K right near their place. So........in the Fall he will be able to go to the same kind as Stevie went to.

Stevie will be going to another school. Their Church has a Christian Day School. He told me, "I think I'll like it , MiMi"

When we arrived.................Angie let them search it out and explore. On one side of the house is an orchard. There are lots of game around there as well.

GOD IS WORKING!! PRAISE HIS NAME!!

2009-05-09T15:10:00.003-04:00

It is an older house....but, I love it. It has character................new ones don't. HaHa

They moved last Saturday. They had us bring the boys. They had never seen the house yet.

We are at Paul's for Mother's Day. A lot has happened since the last post. Steve changed jobs. To keep his family together.....................they have moved.

WOW!! GOD IS SOOOOO WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

2009-04-18T18:50:00.004-04:00

Where has the time gone? God has been doing WONDERFUL THINGS for the Bills household! We give Him Praise! I enjoy each new thing God has been showing us. He has answered so many Prayers......................how can I say thanks in the proper way? It is such a JOY to know He lives within my heart. Why would He come to me? I am worthless...............But, He has made me worthy! We just got back today from NY. We left after service Easter Sunday and went to my aunts. They were all going to the IHC. They have animals that needed tending to.........................so we went and did that for them while they were gone. We didn't want to miss our Church so we came back today.

We have many prayers that need Miracles...............................but, I am serving a Miracle Working God! He doesn't need my help.......................my job is to Pray and stand back and see Him Work. Praise His Name!

Car Accident

2009-04-02T20:46:00.004-04:00

We went to the Missionary Convention yesterday, (April Fool's Day). We enjoyed ourselves. The Services were wonderful. On our way home we stopped at McDonald's in Mifflinburg. Mike was sitting there as I went to go get something to eat. All of a sudden his car was hit and pushed over toward the other car.
An unlicensed driver pulled in to us. I don't think he was 13. The owner of the car was with him. He was frantic. But.......there are always consequences to the decisions we make. Every thing turned out ok.......his insurance is taking care of everything. Mike wasn't hurt.....Praise the Lord! God is good...................I had just got out of the car............just seconds from death. He sure takes good care of us!

OOOOPPPPPPSSSS!!!!

2009-04-02T20:32:00.004-04:00

I guess I better get caught up. There is so much going on......................I just don't find the time. God has been so good! We had such a wonderful week end with Cheri & David.

Of course we love to go to Antique Centers. We are getting OLD! We got some good buys. Also saw a young woman get caught shop lifting. Sad. She looked quite wealthy. Thank God for the day He Saved our heart and took all the things of this world out of our heart. Placed in there a love to do right. It is wonderful to be a Christian!!

God is GOOD!

2009-03-19T20:16:00.002-04:00

I am excited...........my sister is coming for the week end to celebrate our birthdays'. I will try to take lots of pictures. How I thank God for healing her so she is able to be with me. Sisters are special. When she hurts...................I hurt. When I hurt............she hurts.

Birthday

2009-03-12T20:00:00.003-04:00

I hadn't been able to get this up on my blog. Mike's brother Stan was here at his daughters' the 15th of February. (His birthday) While he was at Church that morning I got a picture of Mike and him together. It is hard to get them all together anymore. Carol is traveling with Jack on missions. Bernice isn't well. We haven't been to NY in a long time. Hopefully, next month!

Bro. Barr's Funeral

2009-03-12T19:14:00.004-04:00

This is Kim Barr. Bro. Barr's baby brother. He gave a tribute to his brother.
He had lived a life of sin. His mother and brother didn't know where he was for years.
In the year 2000, he came back to the family of God. Praise His Name!!
He said, "If you have someone out there with out God, don't give
up on them. Keep Praying. Miracles still happen today. There never was a
night I put my head on my pillow, that I didn't think, Mom and my brother are praying
for me." God still answers Prayer!

Bro. Barr had asked Bro. Jim Plank to have his funeral.

The lady with the X is his mother. What a precious lady! The Tunkhannock Church organized
a dinner at the school after the funeral. They did a wonderful job. Many Churches helped. Other Pilgrim Holiness Churches and local Churches. What a witness to the world........we work together
in God's Vineyard. I have to say, the Tunkhannock Church is very special to me. When my parents were there as Pastors, they went out of their way to bring in meals, come and help at the parsonage. Do what ever needed to be done. I heard that is exactly what they did for the Barr's. Thank you Church for supporting your Pastors'.

Another Saint Has Made The Landing

2009-03-07T08:26:00.002-05:00

We are at Cheri's. We were to Bro. Barr's viewing last night. Oh, it is wonderful to know you are ready when the Lord calls your name. I am getting homesick for Heaven. Today, we are going to the funeral.
It was wonderful to see so many people we hadn't seen in many years. So many that haven't compromised. Praise the Lord. I trust this will be a good day in the Lord for you as well.

OH, IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE A CHRISTIAN

2009-02-21T22:06:00.002-05:00

I have to say, PRAISE THE LORD! This week has brought about so many Miracles in our Church peoples lives! We had a wonderful Early Morning Prayer Meeting today. God came and met with us. We have the best people in the world! They want to see God move and are Praying for that. They also PRAISE!

Wednesday, we went with Steve and Angie to Lewisburg. Brendan went with us. He got to go to big peoples stores. (Antique store) He would see toys and say, "MeeMee look at this" MeeMee would hold her breath............... Finally, I said, "MeeMee is going to put my hands in my pockets, then I won't be tempted to touch something." I saw him try to put his in the pockets. All of a sudden.....I heard, "MeeMee, look at this!" He went over to touch it and all of a sudden the hands went in the pockets. He turned to me and said, "MeeMee, I didn't touch it!" I could have hugged him. He is a precious boy. Of course, you think I am prejudiced. I am. It is what keeps MeeMee and PopPop going.

We had a snow storm Wednesday night...............so, we didn't have Church. We listened to Hobe Sound Camp. What good messages. Today we went for a ride to Lewistown area. We stopped at Antique Stores. It was a good day. God is good. I treasure every minute we have together. At our ages.........you never know when it might change.

If ever I could encourage each of you to PRESS on in the battle for the Lord, it is now. Don't stay to near the edge. Get in as deep as you can with the Lord. God says, "I change not" His Word means the same today as it did for our parents. We have to do exactly what it says. There will never be any excuses given to Jesus. My son Paul was telling me his Pastor just preached on , "DON'T LIVE ON THE EDGE.....YOU WILL GET SWEPT AWAY WITH EVERYTHING THAT COMES ALONG" That is why we see such compromise. We need to stay so in love with Jesus that the world can see our lives are different. We live in such a needy world. They need Jesus. We need to be that LIGHT for Him! I trust you all have a Blessed Sunday Worshiping the King of Kings. I love Sunday's. I want to grow in the Lord. I want to Live for Him better next week than I did this week. What a responsibility we have to teach our families to love to go to Church and Serve Him!

I remember one of our Pastors telling us about a man in their Church. They were having Communion. He had his little boy kneeling right there with him. He would explain why we took the Bread...................and then why we took the cup of juice. What a Sacred moment!

I WILL PRAISE HIM, I WILL PRAISE HIM!

2009-02-14T20:55:00.003-05:00

We went to Cheri & David's last night and came home today. When we got there,,,,,,she had a romantic dinner waiting for us. Set for 4 in the dining room. Candles lit.............music playing.......it was very nice. We appreciated it so much.................

Today we went to the Pink Apple for lunch. I Praise My Heavenly Father for what He has done for Cheri. God has answered so many Prayers this week. When I look around and see people letting up Spiritually, and going a lesser way....................I get burdened for them. There is only one way to Heaven.......God's Word is very plain.....................even a fool cannot err. It says "they that endure to the end................shall be saved" Isn't it wonderful to trust Him to take us through. We live in such a needy world that needs Jesus. We are the only light He has in this dark world.

Brendan's Birthday Party

2009-02-10T21:02:00.007-05:00

Of course, the cake had to have fire toys on it. Brendan is going to be just like daddy!

Our birthday boy............Brendan Bills.............4 years old!

Mommy said it was presents time. For some reason we didn't have to call and call.
Aunt Lynn is watching. He is a much loved boy.

Daddy tuning up the guitar!

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

2009-02-08T17:29:00.002-05:00

We have had more Miracles! Last week God answered at least three more Prayers. Isn't He Wonderful? I have been Praising my Lord! I don't need to wait to get to Church............I do it riding in the car.................walking around the house.............where ever! God gave us a wonderful Early Morning Prayer at the Church yesterday. He is Working.................we just need to keep our Faith in Him!

We have the most wonderful people at our Church. We Pray for each other. If one hurts.......we all hurt. They care for each other. We have been having a wonderful time of fellowship each week in our home during these Winter months. We have tried to have someone come once a week for games & popcorn. It is necessary to encourage each other in the Lord.

This past week as Mike was Praying.........God's told him to call someone and encourage them. He did. Later he was told how at the bottom they were. (the devil gets us all there at times) It encouraged them in the Lord. We must mind God...........we never know when we are the key!

One time in NY, Mike was woke up by the Lord and God told him to Pray for an individual. Later we found out , God had woke Mike's brother Stan to Pray as well. God protected that individual from harm that night. Our God is sooooooooo WONDERFUL!

Happy Birthday, Brendan!

2009-02-05T20:10:00.003-05:00

Today is Brendans Birthday. He is 4 years old. How we thank God for his life. He brings his Bible to Church and is active in our Church. (You should see him help clean the Church) He is God's Jewel! This is his 3 year picture. He brings such comfort to Mike and I. Stevie too.

Steve just got back from New York. He took his father in law up to do some Winter things. We thank God for His help while they were gone. God is Sooooooooooooo GOOD!

Isn't it wonderful to know we can come to Him and trust in His Judgment? I think I have to remind myself so many times to wait on the Lord. I guess when we see so many choosing a lesser way.....................it puts us on our knees more. I don't want to see anyone miss Heaven. But, we all have the Bible, and what the Bible says is what we will be judged by. What a great falling away! The signs of the times are everywhere. The news today.........if I could urge anyone...........please take inventory, I want us all to be around the Throne together. I wouldn't want an enemy to miss Heaven. Hell is forever as well as Heaven. It seems like people are selling out for pleasures that God says no to. What it took our parents to make it.......will take us to make it.

Mike had visitors!

2009-01-28T19:05:00.005-05:00

Mike was out watching our neighbor plow our driveway, when he heard snowmobiles. He looked around and there was Steve with Lathaniel & Lance.

After visiting , they got ready to leave.

Away they went......................

It is always a JOY to have company. God is GOOD!

Praise the Lord for Miracles!

2009-01-28T10:21:00.002-05:00

We have been Blessed this week. There are several Miracles that have happened. Isn't it wonderful that we can Pray....and let God Work? He is sooooo wonderful! I think the biggest battle I have is....sit back and don't get involved and let Him Work. He sure doesn't need my help. My responsibility is to PRAY!

Sunday the Lord gave us Gracious Services. We Praise Him! Many were able to be back after sickness. We are looking for those who hasn't been there in a long time. God is the only answer to our needs and will help us day by day.

We have had many visitors this week. Monday night.....Lanna, Linden, Luke, & Layne Yarrison were here for supper. Then we played games. It was fun. Even for old folks like us. Last night.....Bro. & Sr. Ward came for the evening to play some games. How we thank God for Christian friends!

I have been busy trying to find out how to get my Facebook set up. I have been a member since 2007. But, I have never done anything with it. I guess it is coming together. I just want to Praise the Lord for all He is Doing! I want to keep Serving Him and working for Him. I also want to be a Blessing to those who have lost their way and encourage them to come back to Jesus. I don't want to see anyone miss it. The devil has so many blinded to the needs of their souls. I love them so much. If I love them......think of how much more the Lord loves them. He doesn't want anyone to lose their way. He alone has the answers to our hearts needs, our homes, & our family needs. Praise His Name!

Praise the Lord! Steve is home safe!

2009-01-17T18:04:00.005-05:00

Steve had to go to New Mexico last Sunday for a Strike Team training. He came in on Thursday night about 11:21 P.M. Here are two lonesome boys. They were watching for daddy's plane.

The boys made signs to welcome daddy home. Brendan printed his name for the first time, on his sign.

Here is Steve as he came through the doors. He had one happy family waiting. Parents as well! We love him so much.

This is the group that met him. We Praise God for His Faithfulness in protecting Steve on this trip. Isn't it wonderful we can Pray and God is Faithful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'M BACK!!!

2009-01-08T14:05:00.003-05:00

You can see a story.............................I just know you can. When I was a little girl..........we were visiting at a friends house for dinner. She had a pig pitcher like the big one. I have looked for years to find one. It just fascinated me .... seeing the milk come out of its mouth. I had asked the lady who had it, if I could have it. (This was many years later) She said no, I guess not. A few years later, I was visiting and the pitcher was gone. I asked where it was? She said it had gotten broke. Smashed in fact.

About 3 years ago, Cheri found me the small one on EBay for Christmas. I was thrilled when I opened it up. I put it on the window sill by my kitchen sink. So..........................when I was opening up a gift this year...................Cheri said, "Guess". I had no idea...........................was I ever thrilled when I found my original PIG PITCHER.

We had a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful New Years. God is so good. Many Prayers are being answered and I am expecting more. I just want to live closer to God than I have ever done before. I want to make this year count for the Lord! He is Worthy!!!!

The bread box in the back..............................I got from Steve & Angie. I have wanted one for years...................see how good I have been treated?

MIRACLES MIRACLES MIRACLES!!!!

2008-12-29T05:16:00.002-05:00

Praise the Lord! I have been Rejoicing..................Our God is so BIG so STRONG and so MIGHTY there's nothing our GOD cannot do! Yesterday we had 4 Miracles that concerned our people at Church. Not one of us could do anything about the situations.................................BUT GOD!!! Praise His Name! OH, it is wonderful to serve the Lord.

Christmas Day!!

2008-12-27T21:08:00.009-05:00

Cheri, with her new grandbaby. She has had a difficult time with this last treatment. It has taken her longer to snap back. Good thing she is done. She wouldn't have been ready for another one on Monday. We Praise God for all He has done for her these last few months. It is only Prayer that has brought her through this far.
Jessica, (Cheri's daughter) fixed the tables soooooooo nice. What a talented girl.

This is a gift I have wanted for a long time. I have looked years for it and never found it. When I was a little girl a friend had one. When we ate at her house, she would pour milk out of it. I was fascinated with it. Cheri found it on E-Bay for me. I was thrilled. Thank you, Cheri.

I couldn't figure why Cheri said David & I had to open this package. A present to David and me? When we got it opened, I found out. It was solar lights. Enough to each have half. We both needed them. Cheri & Mike sat and laughed at us.

Mike had a great time as well. God is soooooooo good to us. He gave us a lot of wants this year.
Thank you Lord, for coming as a Babe, so we can find Rest for our souls. I sure love Serving Him!

Christmas Caroling!! What Fun!

2008-12-27T17:49:00.004-05:00

It was such fun. COLD, but fun. We delivered fruit baskets as we went. It is wonderful to be able to let our LIGHT SHINE for JESUS. HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

There were more people, but, they were off the porch. Oh, that it will reawaken hearts to Jesus. We are trusting God to get to hearts........this Christmas season.

Christmas at Steve's

2008-12-23T16:54:00.004-05:00

The family are opening some gifts. Oh, I just love this time of year. God is soooo Good!

Pop Pop read about the Christmas story before we opened the gifts. Again, I have to say....it is wonderful to know personally this Babe of Bethlehem. You can know Him too! Oh, what Peace!

Angie fixed a wonderful supper. She is a great cook. How we Praise the Lord for this family! We want to have our circle unbroken around the Throne. The only thing we can take to Heaven with us is our families.

JESUS---THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!

2008-12-21T21:22:00.004-05:00

We had our Christmas Program this morning. Isn't it wonderful to know the Babe of Bethlehem lives in our hearts? How I love Him. It is so wonderful to know He is with us at all times. Regardless of what we are going through...................Jesus is there. Praise His Name. He takes good care of His Children.

As you can see..........one of our Wisemen had trouble keeping his crown on his head. It was so cute. I am so thankful to have the privilege of teaching children the real meaning of Christmas.

Our grandsons are Joseph-is Stevie and sitting wiseman-is Brendan. They did a wonderful job. Even if the wisemen got caught up in their long robes. I trust your Programs went well. We sure have a Wonderful Story to tell to this lost world. I never want to fail my Jesus.

God is Soooooooooo GOOD!

2008-12-14T14:51:00.006-05:00

We met Paul and Vicky at Selinsgrove Mall yesterday. We took their Christmas gifts for them. Then we went for lunch at Perkins. We had a wonderful day together. GOD IS SO GOOD.

We got home about 3:30. Then we got ready to go to the Musical at Penn View. I had gone Friday night & was thrilled with the program. I came home and tried to tell Mike about it. Words failed. You had to see it to believe it. Soooooooooooo he went last night to see for himself. Was he ever glad he went. It was just wonderful. It is so wonderful to know the Christ of Christmas lives in my heart. He can yours as well if you will cry out to Him. It is the best life to live Serving Him!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

2008-12-10T18:01:00.005-05:00

I have been saying that a lot lately. Working at McDonald's gives me a lot of opportunities . I love to let Jesus SHINE through me. There are many that are lonely this time of year. Jesus would make all the difference. I am so thankful I don't have to celebrate like the world. I want my grandchildren to always remember........MeeMee never lead them the wrong way. I have told so many.........we never go down by ourselves. Our influence is great, and drag many with us. Especially our family. I want our circle unbroken when we gather around the Throne. Jesus is Coming! I don't want to miss it!

Another Miracle!! Praise the Lord!!

2008-12-07T17:27:00.003-05:00

Yesterday, during my Prayer time, I had a need that needed to be answered that day. I told the Lord all about it, and to please let me get a call. About noon the call came. There was no other way to reach the person, but, for God to whisper in their ear to call. He did just that. Oh, how I love my Jesus! He deals with us on a personal level.

I went and picked up my grandchildren, so they could spend the day with us.
A friend from McDonald's gave me a lighted tree and it needed to be decorated.
Of course I had lots of help. If you look close, you will see 3 and 4 bulbs together.
The tree is quite bare near the top where they couldn't reach.

This is the finished product. We got PopPop involved to get the village unpacked.
When it is all done........the boys are under the tree to go caroling at each house.
Isn't it wonderful to know that the Babe of Bethlehem lives in your heart?
How wonderful to be ready for His soon return. I want to keep watching.

Steve got a deer

2008-12-03T18:04:00.006-05:00

Brendan was proud of daddy.

He is a big helper as well. Where daddy is ......you will find the boys as well.
Stevie was in school, so couldn't help.

God is so good to us! Mike went out to Garry's to hunt with Steve. They had such a wonderful time. Mike didn't get anything, but, had fun.

Wonderful Thanksgiving

2008-12-03T17:53:00.005-05:00

We were invited to Steve's in-laws for Thanksgiving.
We had a wonderful time together. God is so GOOD!!

While we were at the kids "Paps", I helped Brendan make one as well.

Stevie made this in school.

Brendan was at our place. He loves to sit and watch the fire.

Our other grandchildren

2008-11-25T16:27:00.003-05:00

Our son Paul has two children. Paul Deven and Diamond Joy. They have birthdays coming in December. Paul's wife Vicky has a birthday as well. Sure hits his pocketbook in December. God is good. We are privilege to have 4 grandchildren. Diamond is the only girl. This picture was taken when Paul was here in August for his birthday. We had a great time around the campfire at Steve's.
I want to Praise the Lord for all the answers to Prayer He has given us this week. What a privilege to Serve Him! It is wonderful to be a Christian. What JOY to know you are ready for Heaven. He can call day or night.............

Winter Wonderland

2008-11-21T18:40:00.006-05:00

When we went to bed last night it was snowing. When we woke up this morning, this is what we saw. It is sooooooo beautiful! I am ready for Christmas. What a beautiful Winters Day it was.

Our shed out back of the house.

Our neighbors home.

Scene in front of the house.

I am Praising God for all the Miracles He gave us this week! I am excited about what He has in store for those who live close to Him.

God is Soooooooooo Good!

2008-11-21T18:25:00.009-05:00

Tuesday, Mike went with Steve for the day. It was the highlight of the Fall for Mike. They had such a wonderful day together at Garry Bills'. When I got out of work.......I took advantage of the time and went shopping in Williamsport.

Angie and I went to Prayer Meeting. They had changed it to Tuesday night so Bro. Sickler & Bro. Kendall Straight could be there for our Self Denial Service. I believe it was the best informative Service I had been in in a long time. We are Praising God for all He has done on our Mission Fields.

Sitting in Heavenly Places

2008-11-16T14:00:00.003-05:00

What messages we have been privileged to hear this week. God is Moving! Praise His Name. Then this morning Sr. Mary started with the chorus, "All Hail King Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of Lords"! WOW..................can't you feel the goose bumps go up your back? Sr. Judy preached about the Bride becoming ready for the Bridegroom to come for her. We sure saw God move. People seeking Sanctification, to be Saved, or just moving up closer to be better for our Bridegroom.

We can become so busy with legitimate things in life , we become cooled off. I want to be on Fire for God. Live as the Bible teaches and take as many people with me to Heaven. We didn't get out until almost 1. That is okay with us. It is wonderful to sit in His Presence. Even the children were good. I think God takes care of their little tummy's. Our start time is 9:30. No one wanted to leave. I can't wait until tonight. God IS Moving and I want to see the rest get in and find Him.

WE ARE IN REVIVAL!!!

2008-11-09T13:45:00.003-05:00

The Victory Trio are here! We started Friday night. Our people are looking and Praying for Revival. Each one is moving up.....................even before Revival started. Isn't it wonderful to serve God? He answers Prayer. Performs so many Miracles in our behalf. Why doesn't the whole World want to serve Him. In these troubling times..............God will take us through. He is just as Powerful today as He was in Bible times. How Big is your God?

Fun with PopPop

2008-11-05T15:43:00.005-05:00

Saturday, Angie and I went shopping for the day. PopPop agreed to keep the boys. We were only gone 8 hours. HaHa He had a good time as well though. The boys were real good.

A wonderful Sunday

2008-11-03T20:26:00.003-05:00

God gave us wonderful services at Church. We had at least 4 answers to Prayer. We are still looking for many more Miracles. We are going to ask largely of the Lord. He is able.

We had a wonderful surprise yesterday. Tonweya Sherman was at Church. He is attending Penn View and was over for the week end with the Yarrisons. We are thrilled how God is helping this young man. God is able to keep the young people today if they will look to Him. Tonweya, is (Mike's sister) Carol's grandson.

We heard a knock at the back door and there stood these two cowboys. Of course MeeMee and PopPop were already for them. Dollar bills taped to the back of the candy bars. They sure keep us going. If we get down...................we call for them. They are such an encouragement to us.
I have video of Brendan I took that night. When I get to a place where I have high speed I want to post it. I was laughing so hard...............you can see it jiggle.

Pastor Appreciation & Harvest Home

2008-10-27T20:32:00.010-04:00

God met with us in a SPECIAL WAY. Isn't it wonderful to see God move? We are still striving for
Revival. Our people are Praying to that end.

Mark & Lacey Glick, Lana, Lane, Linden, Lathaniel, & Lance Yarrison were in charge of all the decorations. They did such a wonderful job.

Lathaniel Yarrison made the mail box for all the letters and cards to the Pastor.

Bro. & Sr. Mason were the special speakers.

Included in the decorations was a cage with "Henrietta" and 4 baby chicks. Our boys and girls loved that.

This was taken after morning service. We appreciate the Neville's. God has been helping them and us.

Nice Heater

What a wonderful day in the Lord today. Today is our Fasting & Prayer for our Church ladies. God has answered many Prayers through this. We Praise Him! How wonderful to know we can Pray and stay out of the situation, and let Him work. He knows just how to do it, because He knows, even the thoughts of the individual you are Praying for, and the best Answer for everything His children are facing. BUT...................He needs to live in our hearts before He will hear our Prayer. He is anxious to hear the Prayer of the sinner for Forgiveness. IT IS A JOY TO LIVE FOR HIM!!!

When Cheri was here a couple weeks ago, we went to Home Depot and got this electric heater. She had one similar, and I was looking for one. She found it online. It looks real and works good. We are used to wood fires........................oil has a lot to be desired. It keeps us toastie in the livingroom in the evening.

Thank God for the Beautiful Day

God is sooooooooooooo good. We are Praising Him for answering Prayer today! It is a JOY to serve Him. My sister Cheri had her Chemo on Monday. She has about 3 or 4 days of weakness. Hopefully, she will begin to get strength tomorrow. God sure has been helping her each time. For that we give Him Praise. She has it about every two weeks.

I was surprised when I got out of work today. It was in the 60's. I wore a Winter coat when I went in. God sure has given us a wonderful Fall. How we Praise Him for each day He gives us together.

Our Special Day

2008-10-22T21:41:00.003-04:00

Today is a special day for us. It is "Our little girl's" birthday. This morning, before I went to work I sent her an ecard. Ranae turned 45. Where has all the time gone. The day we were married, she begged for RuRu all day. She used to come across the field to our home. I would hear just a tap at the back door and when I looked out........................there she was. She would say, "RuRu I come your house, drink of mulk." When we didn't have children of our own..........................we were supplied with some. She was one of them.

Last night we were over for Stevie's birthday. When we got home.................there was a message from my niece, Melony (Paul's daughter). She wanted to meet in State College for dinner tonight. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves visiting with her. Again I say..........where has all the time gone?..... This one thing I know............Jesus is coming.....................time is getting away from us. What we do for God must be done now.

Mike & I were talking on the way home from Prayer Meeting. God is sooooo good to us. He supplies our every need. He is answering so many Prayers. Praise His Name. We are looking for Revival at our Church. I need it, we all need it, and He will send it. We were singing the song tonight, DRAW ME NEARER. That is just what I want to do. I don't want the old world...............just Jesus only. To live close the Jesus so I always hear His Voice.

What a Wonderful Day in the Lord!

Bro. Neville's messages were so rich today. This morning was about our past. Things we can't change. Many are sad about what has happened in the past. Tonight, it was about the Present and Future. Praise the Lord we can have control over each day of our lives to live for Him. What a bright future we have as long as we have Him living in our hearts. This old world has nothing to offer the Christian. Times are bad.............but, "with Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm" If you don't know Him you can, today!

I don't know how I did it. But here it is. Hopefully, it will stay.

Stevie put his birthday money in this morning at Church. I can't believe he is 6 already. What a precious boy he is. He is learning much about the Bible. Even learning Bible Verses. God is soooo good to us. I praise Him for all the Answers to Prayer this last week. He is the only One to send Miracles to us! I love Him so.

Finally, Here it is!

This is what we saw when we first got there. They were stirring the apple butter. They stirred about 8 to 10 hours. In each pot was equal parts of Cortland, Rome, and MacIntosh apples. It was started in cider. Smelled great!

Cheri was having a nice chat as well around the fire.

I enjoyed my visit with Jeanne's mom

Dunkard Meetinghouse

While the apple butter was cooking, we went to visit the Dunkard Museum.

As the containers came off the fire, each one filled their jars with the hot apple butter. This is (our friend) Jeanne's mom, filling her jars. She is 84 and just as quick as I am.

When all the apple butter was scooped out , each one got a piece of bread and dipped down to cover it with apple butter. YUM YUM
Isn't God Good? God gave Cheri and I such a wonderful day together. Weather was perfect.

Blessed Saturday

We went to an Apple Butter Fest & Reunion. A friend of Cheri's, (Jeanne), invited us to her reunion where they make apple butter. Then her Mom took us over to a Dunkard Meetinghouse and Museum. I will post more later about this. We had such a GREAT weekend together. God is so good. I never want to take these things for granted. The weather was perfect. It is wonderful to walk with God and take Him everywhere you go.
