Dear Miriam,
How are you doing? It has been a long time since I
have written you and I have been thinking about you. In the past, when I
spoke to you by phone, we always had such fun conversations with
laughter. We had such happy conversations. We shared news about our
families and children and points of view. On every topic, we knew that
everything is God's grace and have such thankful hearts. I hope that we
can speak to each other again soon.
On Mother's day, I read Alex, Warren and Howie's posts
on your webpage about their thankful hearts, and my heart was moved. You
are such a lucky woman with loving children and a husband who deeply
loves you. They always remember how much you loved them and all the many
things you did for them and how much you loved them too. Even now,
their love for God is very deep, and I know that they trust in God's
will and continue depending on Jesus.
Alex is busy working and taking care of you. He works
so hard. In the past, you took care of so many things for him. Now, he
has to do all of those things by himself. This is not an easy task. I
believe that God will give him a double portion of strength and ability.
I pray for his health as well. In Deuteronomy 33:25 it says '...your
strength will equal your days.' This is God's promise to us. Warren and
Howie love each other, and are doing so well in their studies and work.
They also have a heart that yearns for God. You should be very proud of
them.
These 2 weeks, our children have been
visiting. The house has been very lively. We live very quiet lives now,
and find ourselves unaccustom to all of the noise and busyness. Once we
have adjusted to having so many people in our home, the children are
leaving again. We are thankful for this time to all be together.
We miss you very much and love you. We will continue to pray for you!
