Our family so much needs relaxation, peace and time together to reconnect and to enjoy the beautiful world You made for us.
Lord, please help us to make use of the summertime to share the Light of Christ and the joys of Your Grace as the daylight is longer and our faith in You grows ever stronger.
Amen
This is lovely Jack. Thanks.
I enjoy your prayers and sharing of so many wonderful family stories. We have a rich heritage and I am grateful for our great grandmother Catharine Emmott and her legacy of establishing Memorial Park. She has quite a large family and I wonder if she ever realized her family would become so many .
I love your stories of growing up in Emmottville! You see, I grew up in the city- (Houston). My mom, Jennie Lee, my brother and 2 sisters and I used to love to visit our Emmott cousins in the country! Swimming in the pond, picking berries, riding the horses, chasing chickens, running in the fields and getting together with all our cousins. Great memories of a gentler time! I will always cherish!
Thank you Jack for words of encouragement to lift our spirits and keep the faith!
