WHAT BEAUTY!

The above sunset is one of the many Harold saw while working in the Democratic Republic of Congo...formally Zaire. The other, well, it's self explanatory.

Harold got his confirmation.....Sunday Nov. 19 at 8:30 a.m. he will be on his way to Jackson to board a plane that will carry him to Houston, Michigan then over to London ,from there his final destination of Baku, Azerbaijan. He will be gone Thanksgiving but the Lord has seen fit for him to arrive home Dec. 20! Our family will be able to celebrate the MAGNIFICENT birth of Christ together after many years separated. PRAISE GOD! Be in prayer for us as we begin this change in our lives once again.

As you can see above, the girls LOVE their daddy very, very much. It's always hard on them. JoBea use to cry, alone in her bed every time Harold got ready to leave for Africa. Madge would hang on to him crying in which Harold became filled with tears.....then so much for my being strong for them because the tears would flow. Again, God has taken care of everything...Harold's hitch will consist of him having to leave on Sunday's about the time we are getting ready for Sunday School, so therefore our minds will not only be thinking of Harold's leaving, but also on preparing ourselves for Church. God has blessed us with His good timing in sending us off to our Church family as Harold heads to work. This makes it so much easier on me than for him to leave on a week-day, then me drop the girls off at school and come home to an empty house. GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!

We are going to be running around here trying to get his things together to pack, take care of some of his mom's things (early stages of Alzheimers) and finish up some projects here he wants to get done before leaving. Just wanted to write this a.m. because I may not have the time to write until he leaves.

Enjoy each sunset and sunrise God shares with you....His beauty is NEVER ending....and so is His love!

May God bless and keep you until we meet again......<(((><
