THIS OLE HOUSE!

After some weeks of looking for another place to live because we had outgrown our little apartment, Lajuana and I have finally found the place. Above is a picture of it. We purposely looked for something that had a nice size yard but we did not want anything very big. We did not want another apartment. We simply wanted a small, unassuming house that we could be comfortable in. We think this is it. The little apartment was nice and we thanked God for it. But now we are thanking him for more space and a quiet neighborhood.
We are visiting in Tennessee and will be back in Louisiana around the first of the year. We plan to start packing and moving our few things then.
We feel blessed indeed. We have family and friends in Tennessee and Louisiana who care about and love us and soon, God willing, we will be comfortable in a quaint, little ole house that we will make home for awhile.
What we need the most God has already given us through the Lord Jesus Christ. God is a God of peace and He has given us His peace. We are blessed with His forgiveness. We have been reconciled to Him. We are sanctified by His Spirit. The redemption of our souls was purchased by His Son. We hope to seek His kingdom first. And if we do that then all the things we need, including little ole houses, will be given us. So we give Him honor and we trust Him and we know that everything is going to be all right.

Thanks for the picture. It looks quiet and peaceful. God blesses us every day and often gives us what we ask for, not just grants our needs. I am happy to be thinking of the two of you being away from that "very busy" street in that bustling town of Greenwell Springs, La. (Ha) I just can't help teasing you about traffic and noise.
I look forward to being able to visit y'all in your new place. I actually enjoyed visiting in your little apartment also though.
Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy those little ones.
I Love You Both
