2025 - GREAT GAIN
“Godliness with contentment brings great gain.”
Photo One = This photo was taken one late night by a neighbor who looks out her kitchen window and sees the Ironwood cross. WOW! “The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies show His handiwork”. The cross was given to us by a non-profit. It is 25 feet tall.
Photo two - Son-in-law Tucker Speltz giving snowmobile rides to grandkids (Oh the joy).
Photo three – The family of 16 all close by. Jode and I are blessed beyond measure.
Just a reminder that you have all signed for the 2025 MARATHONS OF LIFE (That is the name of of my first book). I will share a few of the joys and challenges we all face in our daily lives.
1. Each have a beginning and a finish line.
2. Neither are a 100 yard dash. So keep your focus and pace yourself.
3. Both have uphills (heartbreak hill) and downhills.
4. Both experience detours, rough roads and upexpected turns.
5. Support is vital to both.
Bible verses of encouragement:
1.Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine….”
2. Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord build the house, its builders labor in vain.”
3. Proverbs 14:30 “A heart at peace gives life to the body.” Peace meaning a calmness of heart knowing God is in control.
4. Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…”
REMINDER: His law is love and His gospel is peace!
Thanks to all of you who have loved, prayed and encouraged me this past year. I am on the mend!!
