Playing hurt..

Thy faithfulness is to all generations..Psalm 119:90a


I have so enjoyed the special services at Fellowship Baptist Church this week. We had special meetings on Monday and Tuesday with Dr. Larry Brown of Washington, Iowa. (Our family actually visited Pastor Brown's church in 1999.) His message was titled PLAYING HURT on Tuesday night and it was so encouraging. He shared how the greatest men of God were the most effective when they had their hearts broken, and still trusted in the Lord. Anyone interested in having a copy of this message can e-mail me at wrightfamilyband@gmail.com. Pastor Brown has suffered tremendous loss in his life in the past several months, and God has filled him with joy. Does he struggle, oh yes, but continues to give God the glory. I want that to be my story, too!

I think of my Grandma Ruby who was always so encouraging, and how she used to say, "God is good, all the time!" Did she have her troubles..you bet she did. She had so many health problems, it was unbelievable. She was tough as nails! She had Parkinson's disease, but she didn't let that stop her. I remember how important a clean house was to her..she would wash her kitchen floor on her hands and knees and fall asleep on that cold floor..wake up a few hours later and start scrubbing again. I miss her so much, and long to be more like her. And look forward to spending eternity in Heaven with her someday.

Got home lastnight and Jed and Lacey had torn my library book all to pieces..Lacey, just barely 3, said, "I'm vewwy sowwwy, Mommy. I won't neveww eveww do it again!" My heart melted. What could I do but hug and forgive.

Have a great day! Jesus loves you!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jefferson Davis!

Lil Jeffy as a wee baby

Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. I Corinthians 15:51


Hard to believe my littlest one is 2 today!! Oh, and a monkey he is! He is talking really well. Naomi is still his favorite person in the world. She spoils him! Happy Birthday, Little Man! I love you soooo much!

Jeffy's almost two!

The children of God, from time to time, have wrestled with pain and despair. But in all situations we're lifted up, we're encouraged and strengthened by prayer..From the song I PRAYED FOR YOU.


Little Jeffy will be 2 in just two days! Wow! He was so happy to see Naomi come back on Saturday from her week at Daughters of Destiny camp in North Carolina.

Nikki and Naomi had a wonderful time at camp. Nikki went as a counselor, Naomi as a camper. What a blessing it was to just get some time away with girls and women who love the Lord, and encourage you to walk with Him! I can see they were so blessed, and look forward to them telling me more about their week. Nikki had the privilege of leading one precious soul to the Lord..what an honor. I pray the Lord opens more doors for them to minister and to be ministered to in this way.

God is faithful, all the time.

Happy Birthday to Jed and Courtney!

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday Jed and Courtney! Happy Birthday to you!!

Our only children who share a birthday are now 4 and 21! I am thankful the Lord gave them both to us, through all the good days and also the hard times. Thank you, Jesus. I have been thinking of their births today, and their lives, and so many memories. Lord, please watch over them always, and may You save all of my children, without the loss of one.
