More Love

Although this is an old picture, I had to share it with you all. 
After my last post, I was thinking about all the times I stumble upon simple
 "I love you"s from my husband. 
I remembered this one and remembered that I had taken a picture of it. 
What warms my soul the most about this "I love you" was that he didn't just write, "I love you".  He made sure to include my babies with the " , we". 

My husband is the best!

New Friends

These are our new friends, the Vikas. 
They are Word Of Life missionaries to Serbia.
We all are having a wonderful time getting to know each other.  The girls and their son and daughter play almost all day, every day, catching frogs, playing games, watching movies or whatever.  Michael and I have had coffee after lunch with them a couple of times.  We eat our meals with them a lot of the time also.
 Mr. Vika jokingly says,  "I am going to pray that the Lord will convict you to be missionaries in Serbia!"
Only the Lord knows.

Blessings

The wonderful people here at the Word Of Life Inn let us borrow this tiny refrigerator for the summer!!!  We are so excited.  We have packed it to the gills with some of our favorites!  Thank you WOL Inn! 
Thank you Lord, for providing this for us.

Do you see this beauty?  No, not Michael... the air conditioner.
(Well, he is cute too.)

Do you remember how much I loved my gas furnace? I have fell in LOVE with this air conditioner today. It has been 95-99 degree F all week this past week. In the evenings we open all the windows, turn on our three fans and it begins to cool down around 4:00 in the morning.  This heat is very unusual for this area.

My cousin, JoAnn called to chat with me on Thursday. She asked me how our summer was going and how we liked the place we were staying.  I told her about how hot it has been.  She called me back and told me that her husband said they had an air conditioner we could borrow!!!  How AWESOME!!! 

Not only that, but our fantastic friends Mr. Jerry and Mrs. Melody were traveling up here to bring some campers for the week.  They were leaving Friday night.  JoAnn and Craig were able to bring the air conditioner to Jerry and Melody and they were able to bring it up here!

Thank you JoAnn and Craig for your blessing to us.
Thank you Mr. Jerry and Mrs. Melody for your blessing to us also.

We were given free air conditioning and free shipping and handling!! 
 Thank you Lord for my family (physical and spiritual)!!!

Yes, 67. We have been slobbering over this cool air all evening.
