All The Way Home... Almost!

Greetings!

   From my recent posts you probably know about the blessing of our trip to Maine, and how much fun it was! From my title, (of this post), you probably know that it is coming to a close. Yuppers! It was fantastic-ico! It truly was a blessing to come to ME for the first time!

   On our way home, we spent two nights at my Aunt and Uncle's house, and in that time we saw an IMAX movie, went to the aquarium, took a ride on their boat, and went to a AWESOME pizza place!

  This morning we left their house in CT, (Connecticut), and are spending the night in VA, (Virginia), because from CT to SC, (Home!!) was too long of a drive.

  Well since we are going to leave our hotel room for some food soon, I will say good-bye. "Good-Bye!"

In Christ's Unfathomable Love and Sacrifice,

Maine, "The Way Life Should Be."

Greetings!
  
    As we entered into Maine a few days ago, on the welcome sign into ME was posted this saying: "The Way Life Should Be." Perhaps it is the states motto, but I don't know. How should life be? What do you think? I think life should be many things, here're a few:

1. I think we should all acknowledge how precious life is! A complete gift from the LORD, our every moment is sustained and supplied by Him. Life should be respected.

2. Life should be treasured. Our days are numbered!

3. Life should be used. Don't waste such an incredible gift! What better use of something priceless that you are ruining, then to save it and yourself by giving it up to the One who saw you more precious than saving Himself from a horrible, horrible, death?

Matthew 16:25 says, " For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. " Don't waste your life, but save it by loosing it for the LORD Jesus Christ!

In Christ's Love, may He bless you and teach us endurance!

My Experience at Canadian Customs

Greetings!
 
   From the title posted here, I'm sure that you smart ones are quite sure of what I twill be speakin' 'bout! ;) Anywho, all I mean by that is that if you read my last post you could probably guess that we are in Maine on vacation, and that visiting Canada was a probability.
   I had never crossed a border before, but I can't say that anymore! Crossing into Canada from Northern Maine by the Border Passing was .. stressful I guess. For some reason it made me nervous! I'm not really sure why, (Of course we were not hiding anything, or bringing in anything illegal, but the stress was still there!) Into Canada the guard asked my Papa what was in the truck-bed. He answered carpentry tools. We forgot about our lunch back there. He wasn't too happy when we went inspecting.
    Now I am not saying that it went bad, or was very, very, difficult at all! The LORD helped us and sustained us, but if I am willed by my Heavenly Father to carry His Word through Customs, I pray He will give me a peace within me, through government places. The LORD is the giver of peace! The Lord Jesus is our Prince of Peace.

                   In Christ's Love,

The Journey To Maine!

Greetings!
   Part of my family took a vacation to.. (you guessed it) MAINE! In fact, I am there right now! As I am writing this I am about 20 miles from the Canadian border!!! I must say one thing though: It is cold! I'm getting used to it, but this morning, (I slept in shorts and a tee shirt, as always) I. Was. Freezing!

Well I got to go, so this post is going to be extra SNS! (Short n' Sweet!) What a blessing to be here!
In Christ's Love,
