I want to share a poem that was borne from a time of trial and illness… 
it is a poem of enduring trust & faith that has become quite evident
in our dear little friend, Miss Elizabeth! 
For those of you who are familiar with her story …
for those who have been on this journey with us …
and, for those who have and are continuing to pray for her healing
… thank you!
This poem is for you! 



~ God Is Always There ~

No one ever sought the Father
And found He was not there,
And no burden is too heavy
To be lifted by a prayer.

No problem is too intricate
And no sorrow that we face
Is too deep and devastating
To be softened by His grace.

No trials and tribulations
Are beyond what we can bear
If we share them with our Father
As we talk to Him in prayer.

And men of every color,
Every race and every creed
Have but to seek The Father
In their deepest hour of need.

God asks for no credentials,
He accepts us with our flaws,
He is kind and understanding
And He welcomes us because…

We are His erring children
And He loves us everyone,
And He freely and completely
Forgives all that we have done

Asking only if we’re ready
To follow WHERE HE LEADS -
Content that in His wisdom
He will answer all our needs.

~ Elizabeth Porter (C) 2008



She is doing better, and for that, we are so very thankful! 
God has showered His mercy and grace upon her and her family.
He has been with her every step of the way through this illness
known as ’aplastic anemia’, bringing comfort to her and her family,
and performing amazing miracles along the way!
We do ask that you continue to pray for this special little lady  …
as she still has a ways to go for the bone marrow transplant to be complete.
I will keep you updated on her progress!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful day … I’ll be around to more of you this week
to do some more catching up.  I’ve missed you all!  There just doesn’t seem to be
enough hours in a day to do all that I’d like to do!  Ever feel that way?! 
Have a beautiful day … make the most of it … be thankful for all of God’s blessings!
He gives us so many that we really can’t even count them!
Love & Hugs ~ Deborah <><

‘Sunshine’ photos over there … please, if you have a moment, or two,
go and vote for your favorite!
