thank you !

Letters of Love

Tonio and I received the most darling package in the mail the other day.

Thank you notes from the Calvary Chapel Skyline kids.

They thanked us for serving God.

A big thanks as well to Anne Marie and Aaron for putting this together.

We are so blessed and honored to serve our Amazing God.

I think my 2 favorites:

"God bless you guys forever have fun while you guys are there."

and

"Good jod on teaching people about God."

("jod" created a great rhyme).

Thank you all so much.

--Love Lindsey and Tonio

gushing rivers

La vie qui se répand au loin.

The Far-Reaching Rivers of Life

Ne tenez pas vos yeux fixés sur la difficulté qui vous arrête. 

Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. 

Mais regardez à la source, et le fleuve continuera de couler, 

sans se préoccuper d'aucun obstacle,

The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river 

that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember

to stay focused on the Source.

Mais que rien ne vous sépare de Jésus-Christ, 

Never allow anything to come between you and Jesus Christ— 

la Source suprême. Que rien n'intervienne entre vous et lui.

not emotion nor experience— nothing must keep you from the one great sovereign Source.

Français - Les Fleuves d'eau vive. Jean 7:38

(choisir le 6 Septembre)

English - Rivers of Living Water. John 7:38

I love rivers so this verse and chunk of wisdom hits home.
Thankful for my Jesus, the Source of my joy and salvation.
