A Blessing!!

After this past Sunday's visit with JDC kids.....we want to share this blessing with you.

After visiting with each young person (one on one) we always ask "how can we pray for you?" This past Sunday we asked Everett that question. His answer was "well I was wondering if I could pray with you?" -- "Absolutely!" He prayed a wonderful prayer to "Our Heavenly Father..."

Afterwords, he said -- "That felt good --- I haven't prayed with others for about 4 months now".
We know that Everett has a church background.....His great grandmother was a pastor in a local church ----she passed away this year and she is missed a lot.

Please pray for this young man. He has a lot going for him....but he is on the reservation ---- that is a LOT going against him!!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Release Time is going great. The kids have really been attentive and yesterday it had been 3 weeks since the last lesson and they remembered the whole story.....how God helped the widow lady whose husband had died and now she was left with a demanding creditor. Do YOU remember the story about the jars of oil ?????? Look it up in 2 Kings 4.......

On another note.....the winter remains quite mild. We have snow and now the weather is warming up this week.....so that means MUD! We can do without that!!!

Gary stays busy helping cousin Dwight feed cattle and he enjoys that. He also gets in on the repairs..... needed too often I'm afraid. I was even "needed" the other day getting the bulls prepared for the sale in February. I did the secretary work----taking down weights and measurements. I guess you could say it was a "dirty job"...(where is Mike Rowe when you need him?!?!) ......you say "how could secretary work be dirty????.....you'll have to ask!

Have a wonderful day!!!
Gary and Barb

Dennis and Holly know Mike Rowe first hand. Perhaps they could put in a word for you and the "secretary work" would be on TV? :):):) I'll be waiting. Linda
