As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. -- Isaiah 55:10-11

Our Anna

Last Friday Rob took Anna and Robert to see Mike and Mike in the Morning again. While there, they met a young lady named Natalie. At the end of the day, Natalie had some things to say about our Anna. I try not to write a lot about my children. I don't want to bore you silly, and I wonder if folks truly believe all I write or if they filter it through the "she's their mom" thinking. However, when someone else writes about my children, it's different.

Natalie had some beautiful things to say, and I am proud to share what she wrote. I hope it blesses you.

What a great insiration and blessing Anna must be to you and your family. IF we could all have that kind of faith and witness what a different world we would live in! Thanks for sharing with us. Good luck on all the renovations. I love doing that kind of thing, well except the payment part :)
IN HIS ARMS,

What a cutie. She looks a lot like her mom with all that spunky red hair.

Jan,
That isn't Anna. That is Natalie. I don't see a huge resemblance between Anna and myself or between Anna and Rob. She is sort of a delightful mixture of both of us that God used to create a masterpiece named Anna.

Wendy,
Anna has always been that way. On my other site www.jerrismunchies.com , I often wrote about Anna. One of them that you might enjoy is "Evangelism Anna Style". http://www.jerrismunchies.com/2001/anna.htm

I wrote that when she was about 5, nearly 6 years ago. She hasn't changed.

Yes, she is a blessing, a source of conviction, and amazing. Her name means "grace", and she is the epitome of it, but that is a story for another time...
