Great to get to know you better, Louise. Getting lost to your golden wedding anniversary--very inspirational! Will be praying for your son.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Louise. I love the hymn, "In the Garden" also. It always brings tears to my eyes because I associate it with the moment that I returned to the Lord after stepping away during my college years. My prayers for your son during this season of struggle.
ReplyDeleteVery true about not burning bridges in the writing industry. Truly is a small world. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI will pray, Louise, for your son. God works miracles everyday and I can testify that brain tumors are no problem for Him. I'll pray God will hide your son in the cleft of rock, cover him with God's hand, and keep him safe.
ReplyDeleteFun to read about you, Louise. And prayers for your son's full recovery!
ReplyDeleteNice to get to know you better Louise! Praying for your son.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of how many years you've been married. Hubby and I just celebrated 12.
ReplyDeletePraying for your son.
Great to learn a little more about you Louise! And I too love the hymn In The Garden, just for the intimate side of our Savior that it reminds us of.
ReplyDeleteSo good to learn more about you, Louise. Praying for your family and your son.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your son going up.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations in 49 years if marriage. I hope you have something spectacular planned for your 50th.
Great interview. And many prayers for you and your son.
ReplyDelete49 nine years of marriage--what an inspiration! My prayers are with your son and family.
ReplyDeleteWow, I just checked in and found all of your lovely comments. Update: We've passed 49 years and are headed for 50 full steam ahead. Also, our son is still on chemo, so all prayers are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get to know you better, Louise!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have your Golden Anniversary coming up, Louise. I hope you have a fun celebration planned.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I drink my tea unsweetened these days. Weaning myself was tough. I grew up drinking sweet tea. My Texas-raised mom made it with so much sugar that a spoon could almost stand up in it.
I'm so sorry to hear about your son. May he feel the loving arms of our Lord supporting him as he endures his treatments, and may you all sense the peace that can only come from God.
Louise,
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your mention of THE ROBE. I read it years ago and still remember how special the story was to me.
Praying for your son.
I enjoyed reading about you, Louise. Thanks for sharing.
