Appreciated your comments and I didn't remember about the empty till when Anna was born! But God is faithful and that's the crux of the story. What a truckload of memories we both have!!!prairierosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951302305312392809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30007496.post-27469461047690806522009-12-21T01:35:21.481-02:002009-12-21T01:35:21.481-02:00Joy and I enjoyed the memories -- trusting God whe...Joy and I enjoyed the memories -- trusting God when the till was empty -- and sometimes being creative. Our daughter Anna was born when there was no money in that same till -- and most everyone was away at a conference. I went out and sold a calculator so that I could have some money to go down to the telephone company and put in a call to my in-laws and to my parents to announce the glad tidings!<br /><br />Hard to believe that is now thirty two years ago, and Anna now has two little girls of her own. Those were days to learn simple trust -- and I still sometimes panic when looking to the future! But God has taken care of us.<br /><br />I also remember (we were living in Belo Horizonte at the time) when I came down with about as bad a case of hepatitis as you were describing. Lots of time in bed looking up at the ceiling -- and it was some worship tapes that brought me out of the low feelings that go along with hepatitis!!<br />Love, Ric and Joy JacobsenPastor Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357299863974702600noreply@blogger.com
