Happy Autumn!

I love Fall and so am always happy to "celebrate" it's first official day! Of course, the weather hasn't exactly been fallish. Here in Ohio we have had Hot weather for the last week and we are all enjoying this little extension of summer. Lots of bike riding and playing outside for the boys. Today my inlaws lovingly gave me Mom's old bike which is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a nice old bike with no hand brakes and no speeds, just a good old "Me ped". So soon after I got home with it, the four of us went for a ride through the fairgrounds and over a covered bridge to a pond where the boys and David skipped rocks and dirt clods. It was a lovely afternoon. Tonight we had a bad thunder storm and the lights went out. We lit the oil lamp and david read a chapter of the book we are reading right now for Science: Dinosaurs of Eden A Biblical Journey through Time by Ken Ham. It was really fun and the lights all came back on just before we finished it.

I pray that you will ALL enjoy this Fall that we have. remember that every day is the day that the Lord has made. lets be sure to rejoice and be glad in it!

blessings,

Continue being DOERS of the Word!

To all of you out there in Computer-land, (and a reminder to ourselves)

We all need to be reminded to Obey the Word God has given us, not just read It and forget what It says, or ignore It.

Rebecca and I faced a very difficult decision this past Sunday: we had a bill we had "promised" to pay on Monday, but if we paid our tithe to church, we wouldn't have had enough to do the full promised amount. After careful thought, I decided we should go ahead and be obedient. So we wrote out the check, handed it in, and left it in His hands. Jesus said, "The Father knows what you have need of...." so we took Him at His word, and took that difficult step of faith.

We came home after church, a bit hesitant, after the step we had taken, but trusting God. He has come through for us so many times in the past, especially while I was in Bible school at Elim, and He has now given us ministry opportunities right in our own back yard - just as we have asked. So "why not" ask and trust Him? Arriving home, we met my parents for my birthday dinner and of course they handed me my card. In it was a check for an extravagant amount of money!!! They had come into a windfall, and felt led of the Lord to give it to us right now.

So for the last few days, we have had the incredible joy of going about replenishing the things around the house that had gotten low/empty, replacing the things that were broken/lost, and having some fun in the process. We're been good stewards of what He has given us, and even gave 10% of the total to others who are in need.

I just want to encourage you, Saints - Keep your face in His Word, Listen to His voice as He whispers in your ears, and Do what He directs. There may or may not be earthly or financial rewards for your obedience, but you'll have peace and joy in the doing!!! Not only will we be blessed, but God will be honored and glorified through our behaviour, and those to whom we minister will receive a blessing as well. "Keep on Keeping on," as the saying goes. > DL Miller
