Amanda's Visit to Halsey

Amanda had such a blessed week with our special friends the Pages. They made her feel so special and welcome.. even caring for her when she came down with the flu at their home. They pampered her and helped her through her illness with such kindness and gentleness

Amanda thoroughly enjoyed praying, singing and reading scripture with the girls and Mrs. Page. She was so encouraged by the visit and time they spent with one another. The time spent in the morning with Mr. Page reading from the Word was a blessing.
 
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:19

The girls also had a lot of fun! During Mandy's visit their family acquired 2 kittens, made playdoh with Prairie, made cookies and other treats and in general just had a great time enjoying each other's company. Their family made Mandy feel *right* at home! :)

When I walked in to the Page's house to pick Mandy up, I instantly felt at home.. everywhere was scripture verses and lovely touches of love.. photos of the girls, handmade treasures and decorations. But what was the most beautiful thing about their house was the love for one another and for the Lord that is so very apparent. As the days get darker in this world, we just thank the Lord for the light that shines from this family. And we thank Him for our friendship with them..
 




 
 
 
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
 and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
