A Birthday Celebration

-
My favorite birthdays are the ones when we do something for others!

Dillon and Elijah both had birthdays in February and they wanted to celebrate with our friends in Tennessee.  They chose to invite their friends to bring gifts for an animal shelter instead of bringing gifts for them and it was a hit.  After games and food we took our gifts down to the animal shelter where we then had a tour and got to hang out with the animals for a while.  The kids loved it!!









Two wonderful friends from Highland Academy 

The kids and all their donations for the shelter. 

And of course, they wanted to take the animals home with them!

They could leave prayer requests and there was lots of

I always want to be able to share hope, encouragement, and Jesus if there's someone who needs to hear So I left on this trip ready to share with people about Health, family values, and Jesus love! On my flight back home, I was reading a small book called Darkness Before Dawn. I happened to be in a chapter that had a picture of Jesus coming back to get us. It was full of angels and it caught the attention of one of the flight attendants as she was serving drinks. She said, " Are you reading about angels?" I told her that I was and shared a little bit about the book. She was intrigued that it talked about how Jesus was going to come back and what the second coming is going to be like based on what the Bible says. We talked a little bit about her background and how she's lost her mom who really loved angels and about how she believes it's not just politics going awry, but th
